We laugh the hardest
We laugh to close our eyes
To the bombs going off around our madness
We laugh the loudest
We laugh to silence
The pain screaming out our sadness
We sing a melody
To mask the threnody
Of our bones cracking to pieces
In this resplendent crescendo
Of all the things we cannot change or do
As the grenades fall to our forgetting
We reach out to touch what we’ve done by not doing
We open our eyes to all that we’ve not done
An infinite Armageddon
Attempting on a canvas made of broken dreams
To paint
What peace is.
My books, “Birdsongs”, “How To Dance In Time“, and “The Calligraphy Of God” are available here!
