Today I cried

Today my tears are falling
My tears have a heart of their own
they flow like a river to fill the oceans.
Tears fall for the moon
and all it has witnessed.
For the souls of the broken
on this planet.

They cry for the cotton woman
whose bleeding fingers
worked for the man.
.They fall for lost loves
and lost friends.

For misty green days of olive green.
For the sobbing sax wailing the blues.
For movies with sad endings.
The oceans are salty
with the tears of forever.
But they cry the hardest for me.
Just Because.
