Tears

                                                                            Salty

                                                                        tiny drops,

                                                                     cascade slowly

                                                                   down my cheeks.

                                                                  A cleansing of my

                                                                 soul, for when I am

                                                                feeling so weak...........

                                                               An escape for the pent

                                                                up emotions, as they

                                                                  descend from my

                                                                    eyes. Building

                                                                        till they



                                     can't

                                 hold back,

                               releasing as I

                           cry. But tears are

                          shed for laughter..

                        and happy memories

                         too.......They can be

                       deceiving , depending

                        on how their viewed.

                          My tears have so

                           many meanings

                               for all the



                                                                         moods

                                                                     of me. Wipe

                                                                 them away gently

                                                               and their reason you

                                                               may see. Tears are

                                                               nature's own way...

                                                                for our feelings to

                                                                be shown. To shed

                                                                  them with others....

                                                                   or just to cry

                                                                         alone.....
