Sending Angels Home

With these drops of tears, filled with happiness, sorrow, grief
Withering from the weight of life lived
To fall one day in a peaceful dream
To dream no more, spilling out onto the floor, down through the cracks of time
Discarded from the world without notice of the love that they gave and received
Moments torn apart from memories of a lifetime, fades away
There painting, filled with life’s movement and moments of living love on display in full view in bright hues as they once were 
The silence in the room can hear the splatter of the drops one by one sending angels home

Thank you. I am curious did it give you tears after reading or any other emotion
