Laughter

Infectious melody

Begun in a giggle

Rippling into a chuckle

Cascading in laughter that swirls and eddies around you.

Laughter replicating itself in the other

Birthing a smile

Chortling in the wave of your happiness

Surging into shared laughter

The echo of your laughter rolls back to me.

Surging, swirling, back from eternity into the present.

Faint melody vibrating in the warp of time

Still capable of birthing a smile.

In your echo death sheds its heaviness

A smile steals through it’s greyness

Grief’s solidness vibrates,

Pulsating at the resonance of your memory.

You send your laugher back

I send my laughter forward

Surging in shared laughter

Here and there.
