Welling,
   from the soul deep
   ready for release,
   to spring from sleep


Swelling,
   to moments bleed
   to run the distance,
   to drop from seed


Spelling,
   of building more
   tears of fears and joys,
   to flood from pour


Telling,
   to simple tale ...
   it's always longer
   to cry than wail

One's outlook can be another's expression.

Like your form.

Powerful line in:

"it's always longer
   to cry than wail"

Very thought provoking.

beautiful!

turning mirrors upside down won't make dust fall off the ground, hiding wounds won't ease the pain, sleep won't make you whole again...

"to run the distance, to drop from seed." There is something about that line that I think is so perfect. Definitely a thought-provoking poem!

Healing
       the soul in pain
       washing the stain
       freedom to gain

*grin* I just couldn't resist....I love this poem...it drew me in...

So much about this poem that I love...the words above did touch me so, and I wonder if I have been crying for years.

Great work...

Craig, I think this is the most beautiful poem.
I'm glad that it was bumped back up. I may
have missed it otherwise.

How fitting that I should read this tonight.
I can feel anothers persons tears from a distance, and am helpless to do anything about it.

You write so nice Craig, I hope life is good.
