The Power of Humour

submerged in the
dark side of the winter’s moon
i shed a tear

in the midst of longing
humour comes to the rescue
liberating my consciousness

sorrows of the fallen soul
wrapped in the wings of humour
this fateful day

the cosmic nymph
dances with the gentle wind
sound of laughter

school of hard knocks…
i walk along the fatal shore with
a good dose of humour

humour
drops like honey…
famished years

i do the daily battle for survival
savouring humour
in the middle of chaos

behold the healing power of humour
the tonic of the soul
the dazzling beauty on the inner screen
