Ocean Of Tears

If I could take

All of your tears

I'd form from them
An ocean

On which nobody

Would dare sail

It would be yours 

To flow free upon

A current

That never fails

A wave

The never breaks

From tears

The world cannot shake

And waterfalls

That drown the sadness

Of years lost

In the whirlpool

Being there

Didn't make you a fool

You had to learn to swim

So close your eyes
Face the current
And with your strength

Begin again

You don't have to float

You can walk on water

After all

It was made from your tears

Nice poem, your poem reminds the reader that tears can be transferred into power, as the ocean shows freedom/ renewal.

It is quite uplifting " You had to learn to swim
So close your eyes
Face the current
And with your strength
Begin again.."

Thanks for sharing.

I love this! Giving inspiration to sadness. I will think about your words the next time I cry.

Turning sorrow into a sea that steadies rather than swallows. Its moves with a soft gravity.... currents that hold, waterfalls that rinse old ache clean.
The gentlest truth sits at the center.

Survival was never foolish.

And the final lift... walking on water made from one’s own tears...lands like a small, earned miracle.
