Atear is the portuguese verb "to set afire"

Instagram

From the womb broken harmony and chord lonely fires set deep within perceptions unfolding A tear at birth flows to olden days the longest river of sadness raging madness Inside that single tear I drowned

Hello Arthur, yes tears begin when we are born. Tears are shed when we are heart broken, or happy. have a nice day my friend.

As infants, we cry because we are forced to leave our safe haven. Innocent at birth, we know not yet of the tears we'll shed until our days of growing old. Our tears are enough to drown our heart and soul. Sad but thoughtful sentiments...such is life, Arthur.
