               Goofball

Sweet—
white powder 
covers the ground 
As I tiptoe out into 
the darkness 
Time to play
My legs take off 
A soft crunch 
under my
sneakers 
I smile as the 
Snowflakes 
speed towards
my eyelashes,
nose, 
and lips 
I wonder
Will I catch one  
I stick out my tongue—
Harder than I imagined…
Maybe if I lick the sky? 
Laughter fills the 
Silence
What a goofball
Joy and love
roll through the snow

“Laughter is a holy thing. It is as sacred as music and silence
and solemnity, maybe more sacred. Laughter is like a prayer, like
a bridge over which creatures tiptoe to meet each other. Laughter
is like mercy; it heals. When you can laugh at yourself, you are
free.”
