Crying

Crying sheds more than tears
Crystals of salt fall from me
I weep into the valley of sadness
Sobbing uncontrollably

Crying can be so comforting
Even when the sun shines in
I let the tear drops fall like rain
In the times when I cannot win

Crying is a source of paint
Comes in all colors from the sun
I paint with them almost every day
My work is never done

Crying can be the best when
Peering into the snow
The tear drops reflect the shimmer
Of all my fears and woes
