The Story of the Tear

As she silently walked along the path Afraid to go home and face his wrath I hung on those dark lashes Afraid to fall, lest my soul flashes And viewed this lovely world Thru her eyes where I curled The pain in her heart grew stronger She seemed to have lost her anchor I slid across her satiny cheeks Gloriously gliding, with occasional squeaks Unmindful of the sorrow in her heart I was now glad for the head start As I fell onto the earth And got all mixed up in the dirt Then the realisation came of my error Of not staying with the girl forever by-Tahera Mannan For HGarvey Daniel Esquire contest, 'Personify A tear"

You really rose to this challenge with style, Tahera. Best "personification" of a tear I've seen and it's great the way you wrote it in first-person from the tear's perspective. Well done! Surely a winner in the contest. Love, Carolyn

Smile ~ Spoken amid the voice of love and compassion within fascinations hues "My 'Dear, Beautiful & Gifted Tahera!!!'" ~ I used to gaze upon others when I was young until I would find something about themselves, be it true or not which, would cause myself to love them amid certain measures, my dear ~ And, aside from thanking "Your Beauty" for Your kind com, I also find something very lovable about "Your 'Treasurous & Priceless Self!!!'" ~ "Beautiful Painting." ~ "Love, 'Always,'" John!:) ~
