290. We all laugh

My immediate world
Laughs at my fragile silence.

The entire world
Laughs at my fragile promise.

In the morning
I laugh and laugh
At the fragile discoveries of my mind.

In the evening
I laugh and laugh
At the fragile dreams of my heart.

At night
I laugh and laugh
At the fragile realities of my life.
