Expensive thought!

One laughter today

one sweet deep laughter today

echoed in my ears

passed through my restless soul

sat inside and turned pale

leafless trees shuffled their fruit

in unison they all evoke

hunger born of loot

deprivation of centuries

collected by full stomachs, filled lands

fouls mouths, motionless hands

out of this bottom less pit

an eagle dares and spread its wings

one lotus blooms air fills with perfume

a bigger smile smears some more faces

one unit of love passes through those hands

one piece of peace kicks up emotions

they are not so greedy

they know not bountiful

they ask for some little and they relish even less

they make me ashamed

when I sit and rejoice my solitude

for price I pay for their quite

is just a few nickels

and my enclosure is awkwardly expensive…
