Sadness and Tears

Sadness and Tears When the well of sadness overflows like tears that rise to the surface of the eyes like raindrops gathering in a pool after a heavy rain at night When the pool is too full to contain the water that has gathered from the rain like tears brimming in the edges of the eyes it escapes and flows like water in a stream Sadness hides within the well of the heart like stars that disappear on a moonlit night it comes and goes like the changing moon when days are dark and the sun is not in sigh
