Why Tears Are Salty
August 14, 2010
A dewdrop glistens
On her eyelashes,
Suspended for
A breathtaking moment.
It falls,
Spattering.
~
Life is like the ocean
Lapping at a shore.
The frothy wave is sorrow.
Coming, going.
Coming, going.
When tides are high,
The woes are great.
When waves recede,
The sands of bliss
Are revealed.
~
Her lustrous eyes
Are clouded
With the ocean spray.
Another salty drop
Of seawater
Dribbles into her lap.
The tide is high.
It seeps from her eyes.
