We laugh together;
an easy laughter of tender devotion and care.
Delicately weaving and embroidering; securing the
splinters of our hearts lovingly back together.
A light aria of music quenching the desolate air;
~ ~ ~
Our laughter,
colorful and rich, flits like a hummingbird
across the hollow chasms of pained browns and grays;
cuts like a laser beam through the darkness
suspended ‘round us like thick blinding haze.
~ ~ ~
We laugh together;
for our tears often tremble
too close to the surface. So fragile it feels;
but we know our loving
laughter heals.
