Abderian

The earth rejoices at the sound of laughter

 

as cries are heard too often.

 

 

Let these tears that fall

 

as a result of joy

 

be the water that helps flowers spring.

 

They will rise, towering over ants and rivers

 

from the dry, and dull ground

 

that has let sadness seep into its pores

 

a virus; taking life as its host.

 

 

We laugh to forget, and love

 

happiness emanating from our skin

 

our intentions alternating

 

like sun and moon.

 

 

Laughter is so beautiful,

 

seemingly abderian most of the time

 

it never fails to enrich the soul.

 

 

They say look for kindness in a man

 

but never forget to explore his humor.

 

 

Share laughs with your best friend,

 

they will make these memories last a lifetime.

 

 

Even those with melancholy waiting, hanging

 

from the corner of their lips

 

revel in the pleasures of the soul

 

and appreciate the sounds that the earth makes

 

to forget its troubles.
