Dry Those Eyes

Sometimes an earthquake ruptures deep within sending a tsunami of tears to the shores of your eyes. The cause of this wave of emotions is not always clear and you are left with tears rolling and crashing down your face like the rapids of an untamed river. You cover your face with your worn hands hiding the noticeable devastation left in the wake of your own natural disaster

Your clothes flooded and eyes ravished, uncontrollable emotions spill forth as you struggle to regain your composure. Your lips tremor with the after shocks as you draw breath deep into your lungs and release it with a sob and then a sigh.

Uncover your eyes and look to the stars, see them mould together as one in your tears, see the universe swell together in a brilliance of white. Be free and feel the cleansing wave wash over you.

Dry those eyes, you just needed to cry.

  1. Excellent post Shane. I love the way you capture the emotions we have all gone through - the swell of the impending tears and the unleashing of emotions through tears.
    well done!
