The sea waits with open arms
for the release and the giving
of everybody’s tears
but now the shore the keeper
because what if, what if,
the tears of love not manifest
ne’er can ever cease
and the capacity of sea
merely an illusion?

The land will become
unstable for my feet
and I will float like debris
on waves of hysteria
until the inevitable
sink into oblivion.

It will be the end of my world
and ‘tis not to say imagination
not a prophet or a seer
and so the shore holds tears,
stretches them from you to me,
and weaves them all together
to not pressure the sea
into an overspill.

But overspills have been, will be,
because the sea not distant and apart
from burdens placed on the shore
so give your precious tears,
give them to …
an illusion!

I know this feeling.. as if once the tears start, they will never stop.. but of course they do, eventually. Beautifully written, and so layered..wonderful, as always!

Your poem runs deep and reached across the sea to my shore.

Really felt you here, Helen~

Thank you all so much for your comments!

I too once thought that tears would stop eventually but now I know that if something is worth crying over then it's not so. They merely pause every now and again when one is distracted.

Love
Helen
