TEARS
Tell me too about your tears.
What’s tearing you apart?
What causes you to cry?
Some tears are tears of joy -
like scenes in certain movies
that trigger tears every time.
They too are truth tellers.
Funerals and weddings -
like salt and sugar - demand
tissues or a rub with the hand.
Then there are lakes within -
where drownings took place:
divorces, disasters, deaths.
Turn them to ink. Write a letter
to yourself or someone and
tell them what happened and
how it's taking lots and lots of
time to accept how it still hurts.

When the hurt is very deep , the tears do come again .
A sensitive , deep poem and especially the " moving picture ".
