This Tear needs a Hug
~~~


The  summer  night
can  lose  it's  glitter
when  thoughts  no  longer  touch  the  sky
Earthbound  cares
can  turn  to  worries
when  partnered  with  a  weary  sigh
some  vain  repinings  from  our  storms
teach  us  to  pause
and  search  within
The  hearts  we  think  we've  lost  forever
are  merely
just  beneath
our  skin
~~~

Wonderful, as is usual. I wonder if the poets of yore are not gnashing their teeth in mute frustration that their work is so consistantly over shadowed by a true master. Well let them gnash. You have my vote.
You know I like this a lot don't you?
