Memories to cherish..

If you must laugh,
laugh hard, out loud;
till you feel numb,
like nothing matters,
even life’s tatters.

I remember yesterday,
on my way back home,
teasing my colleague,
hearing her laughter,
joining her after;
A friend was leaving,
for a pasture new,
his candor like dew,
he saw not future,
just that one moment,
and we lived that,
laughing till I left.

If you must laugh,
laugh hard, out loud;
so even after that,
you shall never forget,
the laughter you met;
the moments you made,
that would never fade;
even in heavy gloom,
you can find for sure,
these little memories,
with a laughter, pure.

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
