i am telling you this

you spent the day
not
thinking about tomorrow or
what if because
it would only make you doubt
and weep
and you pushed yourself
one step
in front of the other until
don't think
and then the first laugh
struck out -
a bell in the fog

sweet amber poison and
knowing grins
left you snickering and howling
until the rest
melted away like yesterday's frost
and this now
stuck you with a giggle and you knew
this is
i am telling you this
this is
the good outweighs the bad
the good outweighs the bad
and shared laughter will sweep away
the rest
