Tears Fall Gently

Tears fall gently Tears fall gently, like the rain quietly refreshing my soul relinquishing all of my pain Tears fall gently, like the dew rejuvenating my spirit with lingering memories of you Tears fall gently, like a watery mist releasing all of hearts sorrow your blessed presence will be missed Tears fall gently, without any warning cleansing my mind of despair from a troubled heart in mourning Tears spurt quickly, like drops of fruit juice freshly squeezed necter from my eyes my fractured heart is clearly of no use Tears pour down, like a raging storm washing away disillusioned thoughts while blankets of hope keep me warm Tears fall blown away, like in a typhoon my life hangs on by a thread darkness covers this heart with gloom Tears no longer fall, as bright daylight suddenly appears God comforts me with his love, wiping away all of my tears.

Such a beautiful write John. I have not tried this form. It seems to lend itself well to imagery and your imagery shines through here. I love the line, "freshly squeezed necter from my eyes."

My condolences. Grief is the ultimate pain. Tears are for words left unsaid and deeds left undone. May you find peace.
