A Single Tear

A single tear born of emotion ever so slowly caresses his cheek through this tear he sees love, he feels pain, sorrow and joy and as he thinks about his life, just for a minute, he is reminded, by the world around him that despite his fears, there is still goodness to be found 12/7/18

Epic shape poem! Such a surreal, fantastic poem. I draw tear drops a lot in my abstract art doodles lol I am thinking about doing a shape poem some day. Maybe next year in 2019 or so.-JWE
