"Tears Happen"

tears fall like drops of rain

the cloud of my foggy eyes,

veils significance

tears drip…

as the heart’s unspoken words;

so many have fallen

trying to speak in the silence of a moment

when only muted sighs are understood

speechless…

knowing thoughts fall short of expression

the silent language of the heart

is offered poignantly in a hushed release,

purging...

 a shower of emotion~

traces of the tracks

now dried onto the outside

masking…

what remains 
silenced 
within ~
