Forgetting Our Troubles

Bright colors dance around,

Swirling into a cascade of incandescence.

Laughter and happy high notes bubble off pretty lips,

Transforming the air with the quiet hum of human music.

Bold lovers slip into shadows for stolen kisses,

And shy ones sneak meaningful glances from across the crowd.

Girls lean in close for the comfort of friends,

Crying over the latest whirlwind romance soon forgotten.

Boys exchange blows then shake hands,

Playing in the way only boys can.

Exuberance twirls about the room,

Fueling mirthful teasing and frolicsome mischief.

Excited calm and gleeful melancholy,

Mellow out lonely hearts and broken souls.

For just a moment, one scintillating moment,

Pain fades away and felicity wins the day.
