Image result for tears

I saw tears in the sky Before they fell And made my eyes swell Then, I wondered why You would want me To feel this way When reason decays I just can't see The anguish like a fire inside Is not extinguished without Closure, while ignoring shouts Hidden places, having to hide Some things burn forever Lest mourning tears that freeze Ruled by the decrees Targeting connections to sever Heidi Sands Placed 2nd in The Fire Inside Contest.

I feel the pain, the burning inside and the sadness that it incurs! I really loved this amazing poem, so full of wisdom of the past, and the hope that the future won't bring the severing searing deluge that has been brought from before! What a fantastic piece my friend, you have masterfully written this incredible poem, Great Work!!
