A tear balances beneath the eye while we wait and wonder if it will remain or if it will fall. Whether it absorbs back into your lid or runs across your cheek is like night and day in determining what your emotion will presently become. heh -A.V.

Silent Tears
by Heather Loughton
A thunderous silence
breaks through my thoughts.
What was once many great ideas
is now a triumph, lost.

Baffling words tumble through my mind.
Reflections of darkness hover.
A disturbing peacefulness beckons to me,
and inside myself, I take cover.

What would it be like to stay there forever?
To be lost in all my cares?
From the inside, looking out -
I cry silent tears.

And all my tears became the water upon which he sailed away.

Sea water and tears never help a rose to grow.

Sea water and tears never help a rose to grow.
