Tears Waiting

Waiting, as pure and clear as drops from the high mountain peaks
Trembling now on your lashes as we wait for your heart to break
Tears to soften the pain, and cleanse the troubled soul of the lonely


Barbara Gorelick
For HG's contest.."Personify a Tear"

Tears DO soften the pain and cleanse our souls, dear LNC. I guess that's why some people say they "need a good cry." Quite a profound entry for HG's contest. Wishing you success, dear! Love, Carolyn
