Last Moment of the Day

Deep are the tears 
that lay buried in the shadows
they seek not the eyes
from where they would flow
known only to the birth of yesterday
they drip like raindrops
down the memory of the soul
to pool before the fall of quiet eyelids
as the last vestige of the day
turns to restless sleep

"There in the mirror, he lies, scried by those who dare to look themselves in the eye, delivering Truth". Anonymous. Eloquence from the abyss one dives into before true sleep. L x

What a thrilling write, Frederic. I read it twice and would like to read again...it's that captivating..."they drip like raindrops down the memory of the soul"...I'm acquainted with these tears. The video was soothing and beautiful as well. :) Thank you for this exquisite joy....
