Quiet Tears

So softly quiet the tears in ones eye,
slowly gently rolling down the cheek,
silently splashing to the floor.
You'd think they'd crash, and roar, and boom,
in their agonized race to run away, but no…
so softly quiet they leave ones eye,
slowly, gently rolling down the cheek,
silently splashing to the floor -
the soundless tears of love.

This is as soft and gentle
and just as welcome as a spring rain.
Beautiful and enjoyed so much.
~Hugs, Nancy~

dancing with you in the summer rain~

invitingly lovely J.  This speaks volumes, with so few words.  Exellent!!

Like a red brick,
in a white wall
somebodies brush
forgot to paint...
lonely....(as sung by Tracy Lawrence..)

words that speak loudly from the page...

Every now & then I stop in to read thinking I may find a gem ... I am never disappointed

No one ever listened themselves into trouble.

Hi Jimmy

Love can make a beautiful sound from a tear into a poem.

jwesley~

so many times, have those endless tears hit the floor, in such silence....for all the emotion behind this....hugsss to you....

~Sinking fast into
an ocean of you,
what if I told you,
what if I said
that I love you
do we dare cross
that line between your
heart and mine~
