Projecting Oneself
By Apolinario Villalobos
Difficult it may be, but should be done –
How we face the world and glow with smile
For times may occur when not even an eye
Is willing to open, flutter its lid just to say “hi!”.
Some people read faces, even the pouting lips
Even know if one is kind by the stare of the eyes
Even by the shape of eyebrows, known are desires
But for skeptics, all of these are just ridiculous lies.
We are what our thoughts make us, we are all that –
Think happiness and our face glows with gladness
Think sadness and our forlorn face droops woefully
Think kindness and our eyes radiates with affection
Think hatred and we show the hoary aura of revulsion!
