Laughter

magic in the eyes, whirlpools twinkle
a cascade of mirth pouring in free fall
liberating lives, ha ha, laughter so simple.

a white puppy on heels, dearer than all
silly giggles in a fountain from heart,
lilies in love burst an answering call.

laughter lingers and all sorrows depart,
a marquee moon in amusement park
the language of God, his beautiful art.

music in our cheeks, sings a little lark
Not laughing now? What is the rush?
Inside its shadow, light cheers dark.

I lasso the rainbow, Oh my first crush!
My Monalisa laughs, in my paint brush.
