The hand of time,
my hand, your hand,
whatever dries my eyes,
silences the tongue of love
and aligns the spirit
with the properties
of death.

If I should cry while loving you
I simply am alive
to the power and the beauty
of all you are inside
and if I should cry at sunsets
or at the country side
let no man say I lie
at their magnificence.

I give to you my words
though distance mars their tone
confident each drop will wet
the appetite of soul
and flow into the channel
of higher consciousness.

To the lower mortal being
tears seem as mere release
from hearts of immaturity
still yet to learn control
but he who hears the words
and can inwardly interpret
is neither king, God, nor queen
but simply wise emotionally.

I give to you my tears
and the wisdom of my soul;
may you prosper therewith
and not fold into the mould
of thinking you or them or they
aren’t worthy of each drop!

Reads like scripture in places....tis indeed a psalm you have written.

I love all of this. Great flow and lucid stream of consciousness.

Thank you all so much for reading and for your kind comments. Tears have been on my mind lately - no, perhaps in my eyes.
