Let the Tears Flow…

Crying one’s heart out is healing and cathartic, says Monika, in this verse, exclusively for Different Truths.

Let the tears have freedom to slither down
from wet yet affable eyes.
Let them flow one after another
like a cascade giving life around.

Let the stream of brine flow,
releasing the regrets and despair.
Let them flow and put an end
whatever has been clenched inside.

Let them flow with some silent sobs
and with piercing whine.
Let the tears flow to douse the soul
in the fire of the sufferings.

Let them flow till the bygone is washed off
and the ensuing is crystal bright.
Let them flow till the pain is faraway thing
and joy and glee are all to see.

Let them flow so that sobs no more are unwelcome,
and you never regret to cry.
Let them flow…
Let them flow…
