Through My Eyes. . .



~~*^*~~


In my life I've shed many a tear 
sprinkled through every season 
teardrops of pain, joy and sorrow 
each tear always had its reason 


~*~
Emerging in the corners of my eyes 
they take on the character of a tear 
one-by-one they flow down my face 
resembling glistening gems so clear 

~*~
Some are like trinkets of dew drops 
waiting for sunrise to wipe them dry 
others are like a cascading waterfall 
with never-ending drops rushing by 

~*~
At times they drop like wax from a candle 
leaving hardened tear stains upon my pillow 
every once in a while they fall to the ground 
like autumn leaves from a weeping willow 

~*~
Regularly they drizzle like April showers 
leaving streams of tear drops all around 
sometime they drop like petals of a rose 
each tear fall seamlessly without a sound 

~*~
Every so often, through frosty air 
falling teardrops, freeze to brittle 
others fall softly like snowflakes 
slowly melting away little by little 

~*~
Through my eyes tears have fallen 
all kinds of teardrops, big and small 
I cannot help but contemplate; 
how many tears have yet to fall?
