Stormy Skies and Teary Eyes
Skies of grey from yesterday
and yesterdays to be forgot
that brought the snows of gloom’s dismay,
elicit tears that grief begot.
Feelings felt from deep within,
emotions flowing from the soul,
displayed from teary eyes begin,
to pour like rain beyond control.
“Tears are like the quiet drift
of petals from some magic rose,
and grief yet flowing from the rift
of unremembered skies and snows.”
The magic rose whose comfort seeks,
but, yet her thorns, a heart, will pierce,
and tears that flow upon one’s cheeks
will leave their stains with sorrow fierce.
Memories for which one cries,
and sorrow’s grief that now remains,
with stormy skies and teary eyes,
are left behind to bear these pains.
