Poetry
Looking for laughter
I found it in the flowers
The trees held me up
Distilled in simple
Like a cool glass of water
Poured on naked skin
Walk fast to feel wind
Travel far to know people
Sit still to hear mind
Recipe for peace
Keep your heart open
Hold your head up, unclench fists,
Cook up some laughter
How to clean a saucepan
No need to scrub and agitate
Pour on cold water
Leave alone for hours
