Laughter

Of all the things humanity claims to own beneath the wind and sun
I’m glad we’ve been endowed with laughter because in the end
it is our saving grace, fate can erase the rest, your wealth
your poverty, your youth, your looks, your attitude,
your face, your memory, your friends, your foes
slings and arrows of outrageous fortune right
Willy but we can laugh even in death’s face
and with the proper humility make peace
with all the disparate thoughts that
shuffle endlessly through our
minds so shamelessly just
let them rip and know
beneath the roiling
waves the ocean
is deep and
needs no
explanation
to exist and nor
do we for there is
more to us than meets
the eye so kiss your muse
and embrace your creativity
and songs come from the heart and
laughter from the soul and say no more
