On Top

tissues full
of salty tears
turn into
the tiniest mirrors
and in each
one I see
the clearest
reflection of me
the good, the bad
is all a part
where is it
that I start
and the day
that they stop
I will finally
be on top

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, I think to express tears to others is the most wonderful feeling and rejuvenating of all, sweet friend, I for one cry a lot and sometimes people think I'm crazy but I think it is important and I love to to open myself to my dearest friends! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is excellent! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Helen - they say that tears cleanse our soul. If that't the case, my soul must be shining!! Very nice write. Chris

Helen, I believe that every tear drop is just a little bit of rain falling to make tomorrow's flowers grow. The secret is to look and find a little ray of sunshine and the just let nature grow that pretty flower and bring it to a bloom.
