Strength of A Tear
Sometimes hidden even forbidden, personal diaries can be read by the drop upon the pages
Only next to air does water place number two, providing strength from the sky and from earth
Met at birth into mirth to say ahoy showing joy, from the beginning marking time in stages
Maybe at first to share pain or show fear now we ponder if tears are earned, learned, simply what we each deserve
Words speak, lyrics cut deep with tears of heaven or hell, passed from soul-to-soul conditions become contagious
Sudden outbursts arise often the calm before a storm, many powerless to hold in reserve
From cool causes or to appease losses, will the cost of Kleenex mark our ration of compassion?
Free flow felt individually can help us grow, personal outburst unusually hard to rehearse
Hard line stoics won't escape wet eyes, hardest hearts subject to compromise, maps uncharted for when it will happen
Tears speak a worldly universal language from joy to anguish, unique in how they are extinguished, but also unable to reverse
Valentines sad rhymes, playing taps rehash a memory of gramps, life can be liquid, inane to insane will open ducts to gladden or sadden is how tear drop control the universe R.C.

Tried to stay with original thought of how universal crying is,no language or race had left this as a reminder"How the power of a tiny drop of liquid can hold that much power, over most all humans" is also controlling individually in how we feel guilt if not crying over certain things,left out how for me it is a side effect in my brain and can cry from from just simple things. Thanks for reading your thoughts are helpful. Peace. Rick
