A Tear

A tear slips away
Slowly falling, endlessly
In it, my dreams
Fading yet shining
In a moment of glory
Solitary yet unyeilding

Filled by thoughts
Memories & lies
Desperatly clinging
Fearing what's to come
Expecting the worst,
Yet hoping for the best

A tear slipped away
Fell to the end
It held everything
Shimmering, in a dark way
Hiding and revealing every aspect
Showering the world with love.

How much pain and hope in a single salty tear. I hope the next one is filled with joy for you.

Alicia--This is wonderfully written!!  I, too, can relate to the feelings about which you have written.  I hope to see more from you here in the Pub.

Alicia welcome to the Pub.  This poem is beautifully written.  As the Cat said, "how much pain and hope in a single, salty tear"?
