There Are No Tears

There are no tears
  To softly cleanse
    Covered guilt
      Of thoughtless choice.

There are no tears
  To gently soothe
    Hidden sorrow
      Of aged wrongs.

There are no tears
  To finely heal
    Scar-bound wounds
      Of misbegotten wars.

The sun is shining bright here this afternoon in Ohio and I am enjoying reading some very interesting and outstanding writing Deb. So happy to see yours among the ones I am able to read this fine day before I get busy. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for sharing your poetry with us. Love, Carol

This was a small and well done poem, like it. - oxox Anne-Lise
