Joyful: A Poem

Smirking,

a chuckle becomes a giggle.

A giggle grows into a laugh.

Unstoppable laughter.

I’m laughing at my laughing.

Eyes become moist.

Drops of tears stream down.

The laughter spreads.

Like an epidemic.

A disease of joy,

happiness.

I don’t remember why I began laughing.

More tears as I laugh.

Laughing at not remembering why,

why I began laughing.

Pure joy from the heart.

The laughter emanates from my belly.

Unstoppable, but I don’t want to stop.

Raucous joy.

Joyful laughter.
