Blithe Eyebrows

Close the door to the past with a smile, a
Sure look, with eyebrows that laugh at the day,
Wrap me with your embrace my friend, and say
How the night cannot our good friendship fray.
For I in turn will say to you the same,
Turning your frown into a smile, a sea
Of mystery; for you, from hither, came
To see my person, your friend, set me free
From a weight of uncertainty and doubt!
Reminded me through your carefree glances,
Your eyes, full of blithe, what life is about.
Open then the door to where the dance is,
This rhythm of life we do tread. Make whole,
As I the tatters of your sail, my soul.
