Laughing Mirror (Prequel)

Nafis Light

So let's start from the very beginning...
Who are you now...or is it how?
I mean 'you' as in your mind,
because that's where things could start to go blind.

 

The mind defines the self;
The self tells all the rest
on how to be;
Not how to see.

 

This may seem psychological
or perhaps...philosophical?
Oh come on, let's face it,
We can't make you smile till we free your mind.

 

Somewhere inside...there's a laughter within you;
Somewhere hidden...there's a joker within you;
This chat will not end,
Till we find that man.

 

I will give you a task,
Find a mirror and smile at it;
Let the mirror bring out that laughter
You'll know it when you hear that beat.

 

----

With Smiles,

    Nice one. I am with you all the way with this.
    A time to laugh, a time to cry.. but let laughter be the thing which brings humanity closer.... it is needed.

    I hear that beat, it moved my feet
    Before I know it I'm smiling ear to ear!
