Laughter In Spring

Far from the urban madness
I hear laughter echoing through 
the darkening woods
The chuckle of wood elves? 
or perhaps some other wayfarer 
is drinking in joy from creation 
Walking towards the sounds 
I inhale deeply of the verdant forest's scents
All I see are trees and small birds 
Did I imagine the laughter?
Don't think so
Maybe it is the earth itself 
Laughing for pure joy at 
the return of spring
