The Smile Within the Heart's Folds

In the folds of a broken dream,
hides an elusive smile,
like a shadow revealing a sleeping desire,
a ray of light among powerless silences.
Eyes closed, breaths held back,
glimmer traces of wounded hope,
a slight tremor, a hidden beat,
a joy concealed within a vanished soul.
And so, among fragments of broken reality,
grows a secret, fragile and silent,
in the folds of a broken dream,
lives the smile that does not yield.
