Tears

A tear falls
A pristine essence,
Liquid emotion,
A toxic substance that purges the soul,
Purifies that heart.
Crystal rings spead outward as it joins the others,
A puddle
A pond
An ocean of life
Of feeling
Of understanding what it is to be alive,
To love, to hurt,
To feel joy, sorrow,
To exude all that is life and living.
The overflow of the heart?
Or simply a testimony of life.
