Poem 92: Laughter is...

Laughter is a medicine that calms the soul
and quenches nerves from fires 
which burn beneath our inner core.
It prolongs joy
catches peace
and emulates feelings of acceptance

Laughter is a tablet that forgives pain
and heals the recovering
with simple sounds both spoke and sang
It rests the mind
touches soul
and encourages words to continue their flow

Laughter is a gift 
It is to be received and given free
It is time
heart
mind
truth
and lie
built together to create 
a tower that all can climb 

Laughter is an adventure
escaping from the lungs
and entering a world
where it should always, always, always
remind us
that life is as easy as we see it to be
In other words, one might say:
your perspective is your reality.
