Sometimes we have to be left to our own emotions coming free. Oh lonely tear How come you are a stranger to the others As others flow so intensely You just sit there alone in the world Hidden away from the drying eyes Being held together in a void Not expressing yourself to the cheek of life Oh lonely tear Why do you not let go Are you afraid that you may be followed Into the light of true feelings being released Into a waterfall that breaks down The inner emotion held so tight Oh lonely tear We are alone now For gravity has to come into play Like the water running down the creek You can now let it flow And if it must overflow its banks By the companionship of the Damming of the raining emotions Falling out in thundering passions The calm will come to dry you out And you will then have to wait For your lonely tear to form again In the jailed emotions that do not show How really sensitive your tear is To its inner exile D.Lester Young (01/02/02) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle poetry) |

*sigh* this poem made me think of how I hide my tears behind the weaving of fantasies...lonely indeed. You bring such strong feelings forth from your words. **big hugs**  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

D.LesterYoung~ How poignantly written is this piece~ 'Oh lonely tear How come you are a stranger to the others As others flow so intensely You just sit there alone in the world Hidden away from the drying eyes Being held together in a void Not expressing yourself to the cheek of life' I just LOVE this tender emote~ And 'the cheek of life' is sooooo expressively unique~ This needs to be read by others ...  *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
