Audrey Haick Poet Free verse

Laughter Comes 'Round the Curves

When sorrow reigns fierce 
Within your heart's chambers
Slowly dragging its feet
Oblivious to your pain
Listen to another’s story
Give your time; lend an ear

Soon, feel your heart lighten!
And then you’ll realize, you’re not alone
As you share each other's burdens
Laughter comes ‘round the curves'
See how fast crooked paths straighten
And as laughter grows, sorrow fades
