A Teardrop- POTD

A
teardrop
slips down
from my eyes
and breaks into
powdery
shards
o
o
o
 
it falls 
quite unseen
a mute language
too deep for words
that my heart is 
reluctant 
to say
o
o
o

a 
tiny 
drop saline,
a single bead
falling down
without
sound
o
o

Dearest Valsa, as this thought within states, ' a mute language too deep for words. ' yes, tears hold emotions that are sometimes too difficult to express. Words aren't always needed, to show how we feel. This is tender and beautiful, all at the same time. Congratulations my sweet friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
