And The Laughter Was Lost Poem by Dr. Yogesh Sharma

A laughter as innocent as a mirror is lost,
Plunged in stillness and silence by...

All can only repent and regret;
For the mouth opens no more than the still;
Sad words joined by tears.
And shudder us like yellow falling leaves,
Sobbing are, -
The only worth all granting.

It is to be learned-
This silence and this burning,
But only by the one who
Spends out himself again.

Then, drop by drop, sad and dismay,
Shall string some constant harmony, -
Harsh caper for all those who step
The legend of their youth into the noon.

“Kind words are more than a ritual, ”
Empty eyes staring in the air,
“It is the dead who are happy,
And all must hurry to that road.”
