Love Poem: A Tear

Written by: Kelly Hitchcock

A Tear

A tear
An emotion epitomized
A panoply of feelings
There is much one could surmise

A tear could come from happiness
Perhaps from a pain that won't go away
A cognitive distortion
Undiscerned thoughts from the preceding day 

A tear could be the product of fear
Manifesting from distress and anxiety
A tear could come from joy
Couples crying together - happily

Tears that flow freely
Like April showers that bring life
Exposes raw feelings
Of uncontrolled elation, or unadulterated strife

Tears have power
Emotions epitomized
A panoply of feelings
There is much one could surmise
