let the tears flow.

let the tears flow unashamedly
down these flushed hot cheeks
for tears are here not to tarnish peace
tears trace their journey of fulfilment
tears join that applaud they all presented
at the altar of wishes granted on behest
times unspent, journeys never undertaken
places never visited once
yet the dreams that traversed far and wide
ships with masts filled with wet ocean air
oscillating on wave after wave of turbulent waters
or the boats sailing without effort on calm shallow rivers
tears trace through all yet keep their salts tangy
for tears are designed with a tiny pain hidden in nature’s womb
rainbows culminating in mother pearl shine through dark nights
lightening strikes with thunderous uproar
laughter of souls pierces black skies
souls that have chartered barbed wires with gladiators’ grace
let the tears out grow all dwarf emotions
that might come their way
for the path they trace leads to untarnished unison
respect their right to flow unashamedly
let the tears flow as they are destined to
down the valley of heartaches…
