Tears

August 19, 2009

Running down faces
In rivulets.
Sadness,
Happiness,
Mourning.
Some say
Tears are disgraceful.
Some say
Tears are shameful.
I say
Tears are nourishment.
I say
Tears are healers.

This is so true. Tears always make you feel better afterwards- at least they're better than holding it in. Beautiful piece! I love it- so simple!
