more than meets the eye

                   is half one teardrop 
              still whole or part of a pair
               when we’re splitting hairs
            seen through a venn diagram             
              tears share a hidden layer

Di11y Da11y Date: 7/25/2024 11:01:00 PM Well you are all about the layers David and this has got my thinking on overdrive! Firstly, I read it and just had to sink into the beauty of how gentle the observation was and couldn't write anything at all. My mind also is extrapolating beyond the words and starting to form ideas with the fact tears leave a film, stains, tracks. So bringing myself back in - but honestly it still takes me to a place I can't express from - really quite powerful. I'll think about it all day, I'm going to fave it

Karen Jones Date: 7/25/2024 4:45:00 PM I agree this is thought provoking and I prefer tears of happiness. But those from sorrow can release and relieve some anxiety and pain.
Jan Allison Date: 7/25/2024 3:20:00 PM clever title and thought provoking piece David - only tears I like are happy ones:-) hugs jan xx
