I WEAR MY LAUGHTER AS A CLOAK
June 21, 2014
I wear my laughter as a cloak
A shroud for my very soul
It ripples and dances without any wind
A music herd by only me.
A shroud for my very soul
Dark and lucid, a certain strength in it flexibility
The music herd by only me
A song so pure and free.
Dark and lucid, a certain strength in its flexibility
It snaps and bends, back and forth
A song so pure and free
A melody of safety.
It snaps and blends, back and forth
Whips and flaps continuously
A melody of safety
A shield to protect me.
Whips and flaps continuously
A silent acrobat that is forever afraid of breaking
A shield to protect me
I wear my laughter as a cloak.
