When Tears Dare Fall

When tears dare fall
But only manage to well
In your eyes, blurring vision
and all you can handle
Is a sigh, nothing more
as heart feels stabbed
by a dagger plunged
deep into your very soul

senses break down
whole being numbed
like burning candles
weakeness overcomes
jelly-like knees succumb
the pull of the ground
so strong a force
for a weakened one

don't give in
don't give up
pause a minute
breath in and out
send a prayer
Up above
Rest your weary soul
laden with so much sore

Dare not forget
There's One not very far
He sees your heart
He reads your mind
He hears your cries
He feels your pain
For you are His
Own precious kid

Sobbing is your voice!
And tears are your words!
Never discount
Nor under estimate
The power of a language
Only He best understands!

About this poem:
I pray a lot and at times cry...not a lot...but just so I can purge the undesirable out...I prefer doing this over indulging in pointless arguments or making others feel guilty when I don't get what I want...

Hi, orientalkoru,
Never discount Nor under estimate The power of a language... Certainly, one can both find and provide comfort with language, even when tears are your words! Thanks for sharing.

This is a lovely poem about tears. I think there is also wisdom in silent reflections besides dignity.
Keep writing!
