The Shape of Your Laughter

60 x 36 / Oil on Canvas
Limited edition giclee prints available via www.paulbondart.com

The shape of your laughter
is a temple,
simple, holy,
submerged
in the morning tide.
It is a tree,
whose every leaf
is a giggle,
a prayer,
a thank you.
It is a wave
carrying us
to the edge of reason.
A pile of stones,
with no awareness
of gravity.
The shape of your laughter
is the universe
and everything in it.
It is your embarrassed throat clearing
when you remember
that it is you
who is steering the planets.
