tear full

i felt like
crying
even tho i had
no reason
maybe it was
from joy
residing
deep within
longing
to grab my
attention
so i may
rejoice

or from
sadness
long repressed
trying to
resurface
getting pain
out
so i can
feel better

but

whatever the
source
to trace its
roots
would be
futile
now
because
tears
have flooded
my logic

leaving me
adrift
in the swells
of emotion
like a bottle
tossed in the
sea with a
poem hand-written
in calligraphy…

‘the long journey
to the home of the
soul is a lonely
voyage best
undertaken by…..’

the rest of the
poem damaged
by a small leak
in the cork
sealing the
lips from
speaking
ever more.
