On Crying

On Crying

In a slumber did my spirit reveal
The tears that cry
A sadness that drinks the dew
From the soul of a man
Through a glimmering decay
Did my shoulders
Bare the weight
Of the God's
Gloomy grove

Where
My heart torn into a collage
Of fragmented
Torturous mazes
Proving escape
Impossible
And leaving
My face
Buried
In my hands
Remorseful
Repose
Where healing
Begins
It's magic...

To express emotions through smiling or crying is for our physical shell to display how our inner self is reacting to events or stimuli.

We need release and we need others to comfort us if it is desired. The human condition is about communication through means other than language making us truly a marvel of creation. Our souls feel in many differing ways affected by the variety and experiences connected to existence.

Wonderfully considered poetry.

Warmest wishes.  :)

A sadness that drinks the dew
From the soul of a man
Through a glimmering decay

This is a very simple, very powerful image; rendered in sixteen words of absolute beauty. It is the work of a true poet and is couched in a work of true poetry.

As with all of your work, your sense of wonderment and joy, your inherent humanity and decency radiates from the very core of everything that you write...as they do here. It's what makes all of your work such a joy, and at times an enlightenment, to read.

Indeed, in your own words: "It's magic..."!!

When I was a little kid, for some unknown reason I thought a grown man was incapable of crying.  Now, I'm crying more than I did when I was that little child.

This poem made me cry!

 This poem brings to mind the suffering 

 Of the writer in humanity's claw; 

 written in a very masterful way 

 that leaves the reader to acknowledge their 

own suffering. 

Poignant if not perfect poetry from you Tony. 

Luv from Jai:)?

Hi brother Tony, a very heart wrenching piece of art!!  ## big girls don't cry!  but I am crying now!! Let it flow ## 

 " my heart torn into a collage of fragmented torturous mazes proving escape impossible "

When life tumbles down,  when we take a sudden turn,  reach out to God and he'll comfort us! 

We are all like sheep. have gone astray, took a wrong turning (Isaiah 53:6)! Life is not at all bad if you believe in God who walks through life with you!! 

Brilliant white!!   Love and hugs Xoxo Leah

My Dear Brother Poet Tony,

The tears of the night

Sometimes bring the happiness of the morrow

For as the sun rises in the new dawn of his existence

God illuminates his path to righteousness

He so easily now conquers the torturous mazes

Proving that with God, nothing is impossible

He reaches their end and sees the light

He buries his remorseful face in his hands

He feels God's magic healing

Peace, Love and Rockets,

Larry xxx

I love the imagery of the face buried in the hands.. It's so simple, yet so powerful- and something that is all to relatable. Beautiful!
