Poem: In All My Dreams I Laugh
Aside from Ewan McGregor, have you noticed how few men actually look happy when they smile?
In All My Dreams I Laugh
I melt toward one who
smiles
open heart splashes
from sparkly eyes
sings
insides out, no betrayal
of the reaching soul
dances
thrumming body whirling
its song of life
In all my dreams
I laugh
And now, an Irish blessing because I like those:
Here's to the health of your enemies' enemies.
I post The Sooth episodes on Wednesday mornings and other stuff on Friday mornings
I may also post at other times, but for mostly sure on those days. See you then!
About Rachel
I’m a writer, data analyst, Mom to six, and slightly weathered woman based in Oregon (I refuse to call myself “middle-aged”). That all sounds very mature and stuffy, which is why *this* is a space for play and experimentation and fun things.
