Tears Of October
~*Marge Tindal*~

The shedding comes
I must spill it all
These tears of October
my cry of the Fall~

Memories of making
in quiet heart quaking
Freshness of raw intensity
cries me again~

I reach for a smile
but it eludes my grasp
Tears in great numbers
numb me at last~

They say it gets easier
but what do they know
Unless they've cried my tears
they cannot say it's so~

I only ask for understanding
a quiet place for the tears to flow
These tears of October ...
saline memories needing an outlet~


*Dedicated to the loving memories of my mother and my sister*

Beverly W. Cowart Adams - March 31, 1925 - October 4, 1995
Sharon A. Cowart Ricker - March 8, 1944 - October 7, 1999

~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

The way you move me
I walk with your shadow
With your silhouette
Leave the light on
It always comes
Back to you

My deep appreciation to each of you for letting me share these tears-in-fall~

Shortly I will go to see my little Delaney and get the *hugs* and *smiles* that I need on this day~

Thank you all~
