Prismed Tear Teardrops fall from a heart now slain Ones that heal as some would say Brought to life from lost love's pain Emptiness and sorrow being swept away Clouds of memories parting your soul Shadows crossing through rays of light Flowing steadily across the grassy knoll Blue skies smiling as they take flight Sunbeams piercing droplets of tears Warming the salty cold of sorrow's taste Caressing light shining on hidden fears New hope and desire in which to baste Rainbows of happiness birthed in life's light Dispersing darkness as they come so near For nature will help with your life's fight As your sorrow becomes a prismed tear.

Sunbeams piercing droplets of tears Warming the salty cold of sorrow's taste Caressing light shining on hidden fears New hope and desire in which to baste Rainbows of happiness birthed in life's light Dispersing darkness as they come so near For nature will help with your life's fight As your sorrow becomes a prismed tear. ================ Mark.... this is EXCELLENT... written from deep in your poets heart and soul... well expressed emotions... CONGRATS on 500... I will be willing to bet you a poem... you are one of the record holders for hitting 500 in such a short time...  thanks for so many sweet and encouraging replies to my work... your enthusiasm and love for poetry shows. later-on to 1000 posts-gator jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

It is wonderful to be able to look back and see that, even though your poetry is amazing, you have still grown as a poet. Beautiful title, Mark, and the poem does it justice. Dee I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life. a brand |
