TEARS

 Dr.Annie John






Tears are virtuous
They speak the language of love
There is immense power in tears
Speaking the universal tongue
They run errands.....
Carry a thousand messages

Tears do what tongues fail
They begin when words stop
Healing the heart and soothing the soul
They flow miles ahead 
Binding a relationship.....
Set the seal of permanence

Tears flow incessant when overwhelmed with pain
Dumbfold and at a loss of things
Fail to cease
The crystal clear tears....
Makes its way through realms of grief

There is a serenity in tears
An offering of divinity placed at the altar of love
Express the said and the known
And in times of silent solitude....
Speaks volumes about the unsaid
