Love Layers

Lives built layer by layer
Interwoven-interlocked joy, tragedy
Triumph, heart pounding
Breath like clouds
Hues and textures-experience
Shared
Sorrow and comedy
Faces painted, foundation
Strong
Fear, even terror
Then laughter, hysterical
Terrible
Lives painted, tales
re-told and told again
Forgotten
Gut busting laughter
Memories ignite
Tears
A warm embrace
Life transparent
Stories told and told again
Painting memories
Together
