I See Laughter

What do you see 

In the bending of the light

Where the trees and sunlight meet?

 

What do you see

In the eyes of a child

White and full of tears, like a lake?

 

What do you see

In the bare fields in the sun

Dry corn plants, waiting harvest?

 

What do you see

When you look at distant pylons

Outstretched, like giant eagles?

 

This is what I see

I see laughter in the sun

I see laughter in the sadness

I see laughter through and through

I see laughter still

In the slow approach of tomorrow\'s light
