Your laughter makes me smile…

Your laughter makes me smile…
Even though I may not know what you are laughing about…
It is like celebrating a victory…
A string of diamonds, pearls and emeralds.

Casual, not very elegant…
Like you and your heart have become friends…
Like the warmth of grandma’s parlor…
Inviting me to please come in.

Making all things one…
Forgetting all the messy secrets…
It doesn’t contain any complicated letters…
Doesn’t need to balance the wobbly bowl.

It is a rough sketch of perfection…
With so much strength in the eyes…
It doesn’t need to finish the story…
Doesn’t care if it is ever finished.

Thank you for making me smile…
With your mighty invisible breath…
It has replaced my stormy expression…
And made my day.

I love you,

Annie
