what elephant dream flies ... what lovers voices ... mine ... beyond theres ... if it indeed a voice is heard from mine words ... that you hear the lover of your soul ... it is then that we have found peace ... come ... rest ... words = after yours ... huh ...

I wrote this poem about what tears represent not always sad or angry. Sometimes we cry because of great beauty which makes us speechless. Sometimes witnessing spontaneous kindnesses makes me cry. The best of humanity makes me cry. Birth makes me cry......so many things that evoke huge feelings beyond words make me cry.

Wonderful series of haiku. A metaphor from the first to the last, ending in color and a note of hope.
