Lake of Tears

for all that tears sooth, my breath takes wing toward my opal lake, newly created from each salty droplet, still singing, while wishing you to be a leaf floating upon my silent joy. by Lisa Lee Theme: Temple of Life Contest: Sijo In A Temple 5/8/2014 **Please note: there is more than one meaning to the word "sooth", meaning "truth" and "real" and a lot different than "soothe"** Also, for many interesting factoids, look up the history of the "Opal"** Many of my writings will have a historical treasure hunt embedded within the meaning(s) of special words.
