Heaven's Tears When life around you doesn't seem all that sweet When approaching a new day brings forth all your fears When the petals of your heart have no sun to greet You find yourself wishing for a drizzle of heaven's tears When love turns to pain hidden deep within the soul When trust is shattered by the one you hold dear When chambered walls resist your life's goal Reach for the stars praying for a mist of heaven's tears Lift your head high pay attention to the wind Have faith in your new path blaze it full of cheer For as you glance forward from the sky it descends Not a drizzle nor even a mist but a downpour of heaven's tears Mark Bohannan |

Mark, very well written, what a lovely thought of hope. I think that everyone at some point in their lives needs a bit of heaven's tears to wash away the pain. Beautiful imagery  Take care, Melissa Honeybee The beauty of poetry gives me wings to fly |

The imagery in this poem is great. I could almost see the drizzle and mist. A great message of indestructable hope. -Andrew Trust too much, and you may be deceived, but trust too little and you will live in torment forever. |

Sudhir-it is always such a pleasure to have your words of praise. I am in your fan club and fail to comparison. I read every post you put up and though I may not respond to them all it is because you leave me in awe and I search for words to your "MASTERPIECES" forever a fan |

~Mark,...no you're not going crazy, haha, well like you said,...atleast not alone. I actually posted a poem yesterday? I think, (hehe, my head is weary) it's titled On The Tip Top, in Dark #2 and it's got some whispering to the wind and waiting for it to whisper back sort of in it. So,...you see, I really do pay attention to it. Cool poem once again. Take care. *Peace. |
