This medicine That I most need lately Is laughter And lately I realise how it naturally follows After grief and loss Just as surely as the sun Follows a rain shower That washes the landscape clean There was a time when the mask of doom Was so securely stuck to my face Imprisoning the truth of life’s deeper ironies within And it was then I thought that laughter was only a defence Against a sorrow too impossible for a living heart To fully name or contain But lately I will take the blame For this misconception For sometimes laughter is the only thing That allows our soul to once again Find its wings A way to become airborne After the vale of sorrows has finally set our souls Free again
Emerging From The Dark Night 
Laughter does never fail to work. As long as the laughter is nit at the expense of others.

Exactly because sometimes it is used to abuse others, maybe that is the problem I always had with people telling me to ‘lighten up’ when I was actually needing to be serious or sad. Totally agree, Gary
