I hear a child

In the distance,
I hear a child.
In the quiet of the night,
when only my heart beats,
it's her laughter that I like.
Its high pitch, cuts through
the window.
In the loneliness,
of time, I wonder if I once laughed
like that. Faintly in the wind,
the child giggles and I smile.
I don't feel alone anymore,
out there, I know someone's happy.

A quarter of a century must pass, for the writer to understand what and why he writes.

A child's laughter often brings happiness. Just hearing them often makes a person kinda giggly themselves. Keep listening for the laughter as it may continue to comfort and bring joy to your days and nights.
Excellently penned. I liked this one alot.

Hi Walker,

The laughter of a child can lift many years off a burden soul that has forgotten how to really truly laugh at life, this is a wisdom filled piece and I enjoyed much, thank you.

Love, Cerenity
