&quot;Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.&quot; - Thoreau<br /> &quot;Sometimes you&#039;re flush and sometimes you&#039;re bust, and when you&#039;re up, it&#039;s never as good as it seems, and when you&#039;re down, you never think you&#039;ll be up again, but life goes on.&quot;

Like
Cherry blossoms smoothly, gently
Touching down

Like
Indulgence, a guilty
Pleasure, fulfilled innocently
Everyone wanting some

Like
A replacement for
Tears that fall effortlessly but, in the end, leave us with
Nothing

Like
An enlightening exhibition
Where there is much to be learnt

Like
There is no tomorrow,
Because there is no need

Like
Everything is forgotten,
Nothing needed, nothing wanted

Like
We are not in a world
Of hatred, pain, sorrow, cruelty, betrayal
But of hope, understanding, love, forgiveness and
Laughter

The author's comments:
I love the sound of laughter. Sometimes it is nervous, hearty or quirky. But laughter is about uniqueness, just like the people who make the sound. It is full of emotion and feeling, and it's my favorite sound, because it's just full-on. My laugh is always changing, but I love it! I am always laughing and trying to make others laugh, because really, in this day and age, what else do we have?

OH MY GOD. You do NOT know how much that means to me! I love you so much and thank you, you're amazing. Who are you? Tell me a bit about yourself, I'd love to be friends! Except...you probably live in the States, and I live in Australia
