Comment: A smile and a frown, are the same upside down, one wears joys crown, the other is an anchor for the drowned.

Yet the Buddha smile is the right of a middle path.10+ - - You are spot on Kevin, just what the poem tries to convey, thanks indeed.

thoroughly pluck the right place of life and meaningful note of this poem
Thank you Mahtab Bangalee. Sometimes your comments are more enigmatic than Mona Lisa's smile. But I will follow Buddha and take the middling message.
