dry your eyes

in #poetry7 years ago

dry your eyes

when you weep for countless hours,
it's a sign that life devours
that which it gave you so you can
live your life and be a man.

when your eyes begin to dry,
and when you no longer cry,
you have conquered life's ill plot;
to chip away at you until you rot.

@lukakorba Please tell me you wrote that poem? It's beautiful and very deep. It will definitely touch a nerve for viewers so well done!

Yep, all of my poetry is written by me. :) Thank you!

Well I'm incredibly impressed and look forward to reading more

Thank you so much! More coming daily. :)

A spiritual teacher admire says that "tears are tears in you aura" (rips)
Sometimes it is good to weep to release, especially when you are overflowing with a joy that can't be contained. Other times it may be better to transmute the sorrow entirely. Great piece.

Voted from SF! Note that when I upvote you, it will probably take your balance to zero again. Weird to get the hang of, but it will start to make sense, lol! Have a great day Luka.

Tears do need to be released indeed. Even those released due to sorrow can have a certain type of beauty to them. Thanks! I think I understand it now. :)

...задумался: что происходит, когда человек смеется в то время, когда он плачет... Спасибо за стихи!

I do not like to cry and I do not like to see others crying ... But that's life

Sometimes tears are the only way out. However, to rely on them often is not too good.

Yes I agree with you
