tears you could have cried
Picking up the internal slack,
invoking an inward tension
that emboldens one to face the day
and the prospects of oncoming ones.
Wet cheeks reveal visible cues,
flipping calendars, leaf upon leaf:
. . . existing surrenders,
like a sparkled after-rain,
bringing a moist crystalline relief
that fills the cracks
and mends the broken places.

Good write A.
Thanks O! Crikey you got in here right quick! 🤩🙏🏻🕊️
I was online at the time, and popped in about 5 seconds after you had posted. lol.
Ah, timing at its best!
Sometimes a good cry and opening the floodgates relieves the pressure behind the dam. Nicely written my friend.
Prevents a tsunami that probably would culminate in a stroke or cardiac arrest. Thanks my friend. 🙏🏻🕊️
My pleasure always
A very well written piece my friend
Cheers dear friend 🙏🏻🕊️
most welcome, much enjoyed
Rik, I love the thought of tears not as collapse, but as something that actually fills the cracks. Sometimes crying isn’t surrender at all. It’s how we gather enough of ourselves back together to face another day. Profound, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Yes! Like the tears of anger and defiance. A pressure release valve of sorts. 🕊️🤩👍🏻🕊️
awesome emotional affect effect
Thanks, @turningpoint 🙏🏻🕊️
They always say You feel better after a good Cry. And we've all Cried a River in our life's.
It's Funny how we Cry when Happy.
Enjoyed.
Tears of Joie d’ivre
Yes. Strange. 😭👍
Those tears can bring such relief to our minds Rik, fine words.
