See the brightness of a woman’s smile
Her diamonds shining down, a cascading waterfall
Above her, a Unicorn springs from the cliff –
Becomes a Pegasus, flying
Below, a lone soldier walks home
Over trampled earth from many years of battle
It occurs to him that glass shines while steel is dull
And an aggressor never shares a secret
A woman knows it is hers alone
He had heard it once but became confused
By her smile
