The aftermath of a tear.

Tether a tear

and see it run

as dry eyes

see the clear

where sorrow

breaks free.

So visual Andrew. I saw that tear balance precariously. It didn't fall, but it could have done. Sorrow is there whether the tear falls or not. When it does fall, I can feel the sorrow breaking free. That is better in my opinion than holding back. You suffer inside more that way. A gem of brevity here.

This is exquisite Andrew, as always insightful and fraught with intricacy .

This is excellent, Andrew!

As in life, if you tether anything it will always try to run away. And so it is with tears and sorrow as you have written here. This is an astute piece of observation and wisdom, wonderful in its thought and brevity.

Very well done, Andrew.

it is so hard to tether a tear...when they want to fall...they just do.
