About This Poem

Bowl of Tears

Broken Heart
Placed in a bowl of tears
reconstructed
Love exchanged for fears

Healed Heart
Returned to her chest
stongly beating
Joy now expressed

Loving Heart
Joyful tears in the bowl
Another Heart 
Will soon be made whole

    Available for your use any time my dear! I am sure we have both shed enough tears to fill it. Thankfully they have turned to tears of joy. Hugs back to you.

    Never really gave it much thought, worth considering. I am currently finishing my book and have tended to do the chapters based on specific life events and emotions/ topics. This might be worthwhile looking at for one additional chapter. Thanks for suggestion.

    The title captured my eyes, and the poem captured my mind. (You know Richard, read with the others, its like a series, 'the tears series'(my mind is blank for a better word). I've seen some poets do part 1,2...of poems and I think it's something that needs to be explored. Who knows where it will lead? ..Nicely done!

    Perhaps I can call it Trail of Tears
