In A Million Tears

In A Million Tears

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

Flowing down,

Cascading rivers of sorrow.

Covering the soul as a gown,

Emotions ever grow.

 

Whatever it takes

To know hope is near.

In motion it wakes

In a million tears.

 

Too little, too much,

Waves upon waves.

The trickle, the rush

To the outward plane.

 

When sadness creeps,

Giving way to fear…

When pain seeps

In a million tears.

 

Like falling rain,

Tears flood the soul.

There’s no refrain

When it’s time to let go.

 

The eyes cry,

The heart feels.

Hope resides

In a million tears.

"The eyes cry,
The heart feels.

In a million tears."

Melinda... I like what you are saying here... your words cascade down from sorrow to hope. It is counter-intuitive, but sometimes crying our eyes out refreshes us and let's us see things with a new perspective... and this can lead to renewed hope... Well done!
