Poetry

Someone sent me this poem today. I do not know the poet, but her words express my feelings exactly. I could not have said it better if I tried.

Silver Tears
by Louise Lagerman


And so it begins
Silver tears falling like soft rain
Cascading downward on it's sad journey
Arriving at my empty soul and shattered heart
The silver tears come because we are apart
I try to see the beauty in things
I yearn to be . . . near the warm sun
I listen for laughter and beauty
but the sliver tears just bide their time
for they know
that behind every smile
every warm embrace
The reality of you being gone
will let the silver tears escape
and so it begins
