Thoughts Of Mine: 1

Tears

A kind and innocent heart,

She was a beauty to behold.

One too many times the cruelties of the world got to her,

Leaving her drowning in her own tears.

It was a heart-wrenching sight for all

to see her break-down.

But there was an untold beauty in her tears.

 The first drop of tear

 trickled down her cheek.

As the sunrays were glistening against it,

the innocence oozed out from her eyes.

The tear didn't dry up!

But dried into her, 

as a lesson of the ways of life.

And as time went on,

she left an ocean behind.
An ocean of experiences.

Her every tear made her stronger.

The innocence may have dried up

but the kindness stayed like a residue.

She built lighthouses and bays

across this ocean.

To guide her friends along a smoother journey.

And to prevent them from drowning.

A tear is only sadness to an ordinary eye.

But to me it is yet another beauty

of this vast universe.

Yet another one like her.
