Challenging Poetry

Laugh

Laugh.
Let it bubble up
and overspill and infect
everyone around with joy.
Laugh.
Become a child again,
when anything could surprise
and delight.
Laugh.
Forget worry and anger
and aggravation and
grief in overwhelming burbles
of happiness.
Laugh.
Laugh until you weep with it,
until you are cleansed by it,
until everything that you are
is laughter.
