Laughter
Like an effervescent
laughters overflow with joy and spirit
in that joy is peace
in that peace is tranquil
in tranquil is strength
in strength is soul
in soul is zeal
in zeal, a rare push
to pour out from inside
expressing; exuding
an inner power
of a good spirit
and a healthy body
of a true force
and a wealthy mind
a sweet excercise
joyful; bashful
with a trigger of something
so sudden; so unexpected
so thoughtful; so abstract
a laugther is birth
and happy emotions set
through reflex and zeal
and through will and keen
it is expressed!
