Laugh

     Each breath I take is ragged. All details scatter yet
one remains still.

     Pulling higher and higher the courage to stand
up. Not alone just standing solo. Hearing the words
that beckon a voice. I bite my tongue. Holding
back so the lapse doesn't come.

     Ah but standing out here in the wind. Was it all
I needed to feel? Yes this and so much more. That
must be delayed for now.

    Freshness pulls at copper strands. I laugh. The
softness of a warm gesture, just that of Jehovah
placing gentle kisses across my forehead. So much
of what I need to be aware of.

    Bright colors I shine. My spirit soaring but the
smile stays hidden inside. The shy me feels the
gentle parts but still something is missing.

   What? Dare I ask? No. Only thing is to absorb myself
into the all that is around me. La for instance this
wonderful creamy peanut butter concoction
entertaining ice cream. Yes I did lighten the mood.

   Ah how much simple joy is, yes?

   So dear friend laugh. All I hope for you today is
for you to laugh.
