Tears

TEARS

small ocean drops clear
warm appear without warning
beauty silences

floods gentle trickles
replace a choke of words yet
awe must be expressed

humanity acts
from its heart great kindness flows
beauty of the soul

beauty catches all
unaware that it exists 
butterflies remind

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.
