~ Crying ~

It brings me discomfort to see people cry

I never know how to react or respond

To the steadfast emotion so common to human

So deeply attached to the frailties we share

Its so unpredictable

So like the wind

Clouds laden with moisture

That bursts at the seams

One truly can never anticipate

What may precipitate unwanted tears

To burst upon hearts with jagged edge

With a vengeance to tears out our dreams

Sadness is all around everyday and

Tears are abundant to wash it from sight

But tears alone never will take it away

Crying will not set things right

So, we cry for our losses

We cry for ourselves

We cry for the pain that we must endure

We cry for the child who cannot understand

We cry

Because life is unsure
