Cluster of Teardrops

Cluster of teardrops
Growing a hundred folds
Drowning the beauty of the soul
Soaking all of the heart's gold
Turning a rusty old mold
When you lose view of the road.

Cluster of teardrops
Inflating the trembling frame
Rendering the mind maimed
Unable to break away
Not sure which is the way
When another is to blame.

Cluster of teardrops
Rushing so cold through the veins
Paralyzing the compulsive brain
Unable to think straight
Under the darkened day
For your love has been taken away.

Cluster of teardrops
Needing to unload its weight
Looking out for a way
To let the world know your pain
When you see another can gain
And your love is found again.

Cluster of teardrops
Feeling the warm current
Offering the soul salvation
The heart a new emotion
The mind a revelation
As you let in the shining sun.

Smile~I really admire and love writers like "You Gifted Caroline"~For often You seem to set aside Yourself in hopes and desires to touch and help anothers life....And there is not much more beautiful than a soul such as this!! Thus, my hat is off to "You," for "Your Wonderful Heart & Soul" again!!:):)~And, "You Are A Bright Light" I can tell~Again, "My Love & Warmth To You & Your Loves, John!!:):) Smile, Bye ~
