Follow The Tears.

Watching the tears of my broken spirit
Streaming along meandering endlessly
I gaze upon my confused frown, shattered
Moved to the window of the rising sun

I watched in awe a lonely sparrow
Shaking in the early morning rain
Raindrops running along its weak body
It seemed to ask me to stop the rain

I walked outside to face another day
Bent from the wind across my path
forcing me to stop, was a new rose
I straightened it, as a drop of rain fell
From its heart into my hand.

Closing my hand I kept that moment
I know that another day will come
When the tears from my eyes
And the raindrops will meet again
As the wonder of nature unveils
The real story of sadness
Telling me to follow the tears

For at the end of that journey
There will be a beautiful lake
Made of tears and raindrops
Where angels and butterflies meet
Where rainbows begin their journey
Into the hearts of the hurting
And sunrise last forever



Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

What a lovely thought you've carried through this piece.
Enchantingly well done.

You took the sad fact that 75% of this planet is covered in moisture and sculpted a hopeful conclusion. Enjoyed.

luffly!!  simply luffly!
I'd change the word 'knew' to 'know' in the 4th stanza, 2nd line, I think.

Marge, Anne, Kathleen, Cpat,
Thank you all for the kind words, following the tears of our lives may be a very long journey, however, as I said in the end there is reality.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
