Whenever a Poet Cries
A letter is hidden inside each tear
As the pain escapes our eyes
A poem is born inside our souls
Whenever a poet cries
Sometimes they're tears of sadness
Other times, tears of joy
They're filled with happy endings
Or words that can even destroy
A tear can look like a broken heart
Or maybe a gentle smile
It can even look like temptation
Tears that are meant to beguile
A tear can be a new born child
Or a loved one who has died
Ink will flow through a poet's veins
In the letters that we've cried
A letter is hidden inside each tear
In all the words we seek
A tear will give the letters a voice
Until the words begin to speak
