Lilting Laughter

Cheery little laugh that brings a sparkle to the eye,

Tickling the heart with feathered fronds.

No concerns or worries, no regrets, no alibi.

Thinking only of the moment;

Not what lies beyond.

Laughter is a subtle witness to the here and now;

Capturing a slice of space and time.

Observing all the humor in the what and where and how,

Attesting to the irony contained within a rhyme.

 

How often has a spirit low

Been lifted out of gloom

By the sound of lilting laughter

As it filters through the room?
