If tears could talk as gentle fall
they gather all in misty path that’s made.
On flushed cheeks like warm ‘soft nymphs of sadness’
huge droplets fill sad eyes, as cleansing in their wake
this pain so deeply felt.
Whirlpools of feelings from damaged heart and soul.
A loss that cannot be repaired or replaced,
these tears that bring clemency to my needs.
Rinsing. glistening lashes, streaky as torrent falls,
a quiet private heart-rending washing
that completes to soothe.
Until futurity this sacrament of release will return
giving focus and a little courage.
If tears could talk… their wordless perpetual out-pour
would denounce all pain.
If tears could talk…
~This poem was and is dedicated to Dianne West who lost her beloved husband Vern, after a courageous battle with Multiple Myeloma in September 2010 but now having lost my Hamada in November 2010 to the same disease. I find myself once again drawn to it for comfort~
Bless you, dear Susie. And thank you for your words of comfort … for both of us.
Susie,
Will you be publishing another volume of your wonderful poetry in the future ?
Yes Elizabeth I will when I can get my head into the right frame to see to it – but I seem to have so many things to think of at the moment (still grieving ) perhaps some nice publisher out there will pick them up? Thanks for asking x
We love you Susie and Dianne.
Dearest Susie, In the midst of your own suffering and mourning you take time to comfort a friend in need. Your heart of gold and radiant beauty in all ways possible are yet another example of what giving is all about. God bless you and Dianne and keep you both strong and happy in your cherished memories of loved ones. XOXO Lora
Tears cleanse…eventually.
Eventually can feel like forever.
Hugs to you and Dianne.
Thank you Jean XOXO
