Comedic Redemption

COMEDIC REDEMPTION Once when that black ice cloud chilled me again In mind and heart, it froze all aspiration Taking me below resentment fear or pain To a hopeless state of cold dark enervation A voice on air waves transformed my demeanour A fabled comic, stand up routine performing His art, and vital zest were my spirit's redeemer Irreverence blest achieved a mind's reforming The fog of despond cleared, I then saw light And hugged myself for shared joy, laughter, life restored Though my problems might still exist, it was alright I could face them and they didn't have me floored So a blessing on those with talent to give us mirth Holy, impious power to show life's balance and shatter The belief that all has solemn, significant worth And see that sometimes it really doesn't matter Let lightness and joviality infect our space Spread from Jupiter to gloomy Pluto and Angry Mars So that even God won’t admonish, but crack his face And laughter then will echo round the stars
