"tears"

You can't sweep up tears

                       nor can they be blown away

                                                 only held and seen.

Thanks for the return comment man. I love this piece as well, not as much as the other I read which was just amazing, but this is great stuff. So few words but so true. You are like a philospher/writer

Some see them as a weakness Michael, to me it's a form of cleansing and sometimes a renewal of strength.. Another favorite because this is so true - love W
