Tears

So fall my tears...
Heavy now with sorrow.
Dully, upon yearning, empty hands,
One by bitter one,
They fall.
Each a crashing wave
That beats impotently
Against the jagged rocks of Fate...
Tossing, spraying, breaking
Into a thousand times
A thousand more!
Falling at long last to rest
In stagnant pools
Within a broken heart.
So deep, so dark, so hushed
The waters rise,
That it shall seem but placid sleep
When the tired heart
Is stilled.

Another wonderful read.

Rex,
Big smile from me

wonderful!
I especially liked

The waters rise,
That it shall seem but placid sleep
When the tired heart
Is stilled.

Be well
