Tears

Tears

a warm stream

of emotional extract

that trickles

from the soul

confirming our humanity

Tears

a spontaneous expression

an uncontrollable flow

an outlet for intense emotions

painful

pleasurable

intolerable

Tears

alone or shared

a relief to have cried

and cleansed ourselves

to once again

be able to confront

with clear vision

dilemmas of the heart

Tears

a wringing

if not a pouring out

a therapeutic shower

precipitation of the soul

To possess the ability to cry...

A true gift of creation.
