Blog #355: Laughing in Flowers

Emerson once said that

Earth laughs in flowers

And I can't help but to laugh along with her

Chains of daisies tied together

By the stained thumbs of sisters

And friends laughing on the riverbank

Petals of lilac, traffic cone orange

Fall on my head

And we laugh, watching our world rain flowers

Pressed between pages of

Black and white words

And I laugh at the memories on hilltops and mountainsides,

creek beds and pastures

Laughter will find me

Like I will find flowers

And I hope I stay laughing, 'til flowers grow from my lips,

where my laughter once fell
