Tears

These posts are prescheduled for Wednesday’s and Saturday’s over the next year. 

Tears are the silent bearers of our deepest emotions, each type carrying its own unique weight. Grief-laden tears are heavy, saturated with the anguish of irretrievable loss, falling like leaden rain from the soul's darkened sky. They carry the immense burden of absence, each drop a poignant reminder of what was and will never be again. Tears of pain are sharp, cutting through the facade of strength to expose the raw, unfiltered essence of human vulnerability. They are the physical manifestation of inner turmoil, a silent scream for comfort or escape.

Loss bestows tears with a profound gravity, a slow and steady stream reflecting the hollow emptiness of a space once filled. These tears are quiet, often solitary, marking the passage of cherished moments into memories. In contrast, tears of joy sparkle with the lightness of relief and happiness, cascading in effervescent streams that cleanse the heart of its burdens. They are the overflow of a heart too full, too stirred by beauty or touched by kindness, too awash in the relief of a crisis past or a challenge overcome.

Tears of goodbye carry a bittersweet weight, laden with the sorrow of parting yet often tinged with the hope of future reunions. They flow at the crossroads of past warmth and future uncertainty, embodying the human condition's transient nature. Whether they emerge from sorrow, pain, loss, joy, or farewell, tears are the universal language of our emotions, profound in their simplicity, deeply personal yet universally understood, marking the ebbs and flows of our shared human experience.
