Laughter: a fold poem
Laugh at the night, at the day, at the moon,
For laughter needs no reason
Laugh for you know not soon
The time to be serious comes
All her funny shaping laugh at the moon,
She lingers she hides
She can make a lover's heart swoon
Laughter clears the eyes to see
Tomorrow is merely a disc and a spoon
Running away into imagination
So don't be afraid to laugh even at the moon,
