Sometimes our emotions become the better part of being so human.

Oh tear I fear
Of waterfalls of emotions that don’t stop
Draining into a vacuum of hope
Where light peeks out at you
Piercing the hearts pride
In shriveling shreds of self respect
To pump the heart up in false hopes
Of self healing hurts

So tear don’t start my flow
Let the desert sun burn it dry
To float among the power blue sky
In whips of pure thoughts
Racing with the torrents of wild winds
Pushing the sagebrush along
To then whirl in a dance of emotions
That makes love love

Oh tear, do not make me a clown
With a tear in one and none in the other
For my mind will surely crack
Into each half demanding more
And in the battle
Dark in light
Will take the black out of the white
Silence in sound
Will blare out of nothing
Space in a vacuum
Will shine stars out of something not there
And in all the confusion of my roller coater
I became so real as to care
With any face on

BRAVO!!! Yes, may we make love love and turn these tears into something pure and new! (sigh) We are all only human, but this vacuum of emotions makes us all grow into wonderful loving people! Soooooooo wonderful, I love your words! (big hugggsssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet eagle, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!
