Inspired by a tear of misunderstanding
Tears of Emotion


Tears are but droplets of emotion
Drawn from the well of the soul
Our heart, the bucket used to gather them
The eyes but a ladle from which they are served

A tear born of hatred
Will drown compassion
A tear born of compassion
Will drown hatred

A tear drawn in anger
Will blur the eyes to understanding
A tear drawn in understanding
Will blur the eyes to anger

A tear shed in doubt
Weakens the love within
A tear shed in love
Weakens the doubt within

A tear tempered by pain
Hardens us to forgiveness
A tear tempered by forgiveness
Hardens us to pain

A tear never flowing
Is an emotion forever lost
An emotion never shared
Drowns the soul in tears
