He Hears the Tears

He Hears The Tears
By Curtis Lee Johnson 

Ever observe ice cycles falling from roof tops?
Until they’re gone, they go drip, drip, drip, nonstop

Have you ever took a notice to your tear drops?
Those precious tears are more than wet dots 

Sometimes when you're crying all alone
You’re in a parked car, or in your home
Someone made you sad, and did you wrong
Your ‘tear senses’ have a language of their own 

Their true meaning can be seen 
Their seasoning can be tasted 
They are smooth to the touch 

Falling silently from your eyes 
Tears are born, but never dies 

They have a language very strong 
Tears will lead us from the wrong 

Freed from the source, they pour 
A thousand emotions from the core 

Afraid to cry? Listen at you 
Most of us don’t have a clue 
Our tears may flow many or few 
Like sunshine comes and melts the dew,
God is very near, with love, to embrace me and you
