PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

quiet restorer to pain's crippling defeat

rain with joy

across the pale face of disbelief

speak for the soul

so eloquently

when the heart possesses

no healing words of its own

to relinquish the hold of melancholy

sympathy's silently flowing companion

misery's faithful water mark

the mourner's doorway

unto the path of grief's

indeterminate maze

sound provider of emotional balance

take your soaked hanky's place

at the top of God's long industrious list

of the many great gifts

he's willed to man

to comfort him on this strange, exciting

journey

through a new uncertain place

life's

valleys

plateaus

tribulations

and harsh terrains

from the pure salted waters

of our sweet tears

we emerge

whole

cleansed

renewed

and dignified

for having bowed to our current limits

of being fallable human

and accessed the gift of tears

to release us from

our weak chain of flesh.............
