Laughter

what's in a sound, that has no word laughing in enjoyment, or at a spirit broken laughter brings us closer, or for a fight will gird laughter has a resonance, meaning many things unspoken being me, i may laugh, i may cry but i will only half the time laugh with most of you the laughter that a good man, a good joke may buy is the laughter that soars joyful in skies of blue the laughter that needs a victim? maliscious and so wrong, you're resonance is dissonance to this poets soul in this errant, poetic whim, this sad and mournful song i speak of sounds emanating from a hole not a heart. hope, Emily says, sings without words like the morning majesty of a symphany of birds nobody i would condone, laughs at birds, only somehow, with them, but if they're hurt, like maybe you or me have a poets heart, and share some hope what may start with a smile at hurt feelings, or a snit, or a mope might become a laugh, in a little while i've heard of many a hopeful smile try one on before the music is all gone and you're left at break of dawn alone laughing...
