What’s A Teardrop To Do?
~*Marge Tindal*~

What’s a teardrop to do
but
.......f
............a
..................l
......................l
overwhelmed by it all ?

This saline notion, brimming with emotion
of memories in recall~

On a lash it may linger
sometimes caressed by a finger
of regret that came to be~
Slips to a soft cheek, beyond words of speak
then in a streak …
it silently falls~

This tear of emote … spills a heart-in-break~
What’s a teardrop to do … but fall ?



~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~

Interesting...I am always amazed when the teardrops fall...because sometimes they won't respond...James

Thank you for your insight, Marge. For whatever reason the teardrop exists....to fall is indeed its destiny.

Very impressive to see the different graphic applications come into play with this piece.  It makes for a complete sensory experience, the beautiful words notwithstanding.  "A saline notion"  That is vivid choice of words.  Sadly touching lines.

This is beautiful, Marge! That's all they can do is fall. Just like mine are doing, now. Lyra was one of my dearest friends. We talked on the phone many times. And, oh how my heart hurts, now.

Marge~ Thanks for sharing.

It is when we recall
A friend too us all
A teardrop will fall
We come together one and all.....

I bid you Farewell Lyra...Paul
