When the Water Falls From the Eyes

When the water falls from the eyes When the water falls from the eyes It's a display of sorrows size Cascading tears sometimes surprise As water falls down from the eyes When the water falls from the eyes Emotions release, realized Griefs expressions are recognized As water falls down from the eyes When the water falls from the eyes As pains distresses cause heart sighs Relief comes with sorrows goodbyes For now, water falls from the eyes. An echo poem in recognition of two fine poets who inspired this! Frederick Parker's poem Heart's Waterfall and Daniel Turners monoku Heart Sighs Both excellent works! Give them a read also! Thanks to you both for inspiring this one! John Derek Hamilton August 04,2016

John, Very well-done here!! As water falls from our eyes on occasions of great sadness, it does provide a definite cleansing and rejuvenation process -- a very necessary aspect and part of the "human experience." A "7"!! Cheers, Gary

A heartfelt echo poem, you were inspired by two wonderful poets John - I still have not grieved for my late father - maybe one day the waterfall of tears will flow but I've been told by Hospice it can take many years.:-) hugs Jan xx

It's not good to hold it in, it can cause harmful, physical symptoms but all in due time. Thanks for your visits and support.
