Love Poem: Tears

Tears

The angels from heaven sprinkle the tears from high; they fall as dew on the earth,
Tears that came from the heart, tears collected from birth.
Through the fits of joyful laughter, to the sobbing of heartache and pain,
They roll down the cheeks, only to be gathered up by the same angels again.

Emotions are the only instigators, in evicting the heavenly dew,
They show the intensity of love, and the hatred when love is through. 
Sadness holds the heart to ransom, like a chill turning the drops to frost,
When a loved one has passed on, their partner is left numbed and lost.

However, as the sun warms up a brand new day, and time moves on for a while,
The pain begins to float away; with pleasant thoughts turning sadness into a smile.
From the emotions, which our eyes express as tears, angels will take them above,
And sort them out in categories like sadness, loss and love. 

The angels continue to sprinkle the tears from on high, like a carpet of glistening diamonds 
they fall upon the earth,
As emotions are learned from the old ones and transferred to the babies from birth.
