Laughter

My laughter
A crescent across my face
A gurgling, mirthful sound
An expression of my happiness

Laughter, like beams of sunshine
In chilly winter mornings.
Breaking barriers
Dissolving stress and awkwardness

Laughter which flows
Between friends,
Like a tripping brook,
Over every trivial word spoken.

Laughter, fills my lungs
An oxygen for my life.
Forcing my tears to flow out of my eyes.

It knows no constraints.
It bubbles up
In solemn meetings

It need no invitation.
Surprises us with a visit
While chatting with parents
Over dinner or a game of scrabble

Laughter, what will I do without it!!!
