The Man Who Wept

The Sun has set

The moon is light

All are at rest, except for

The Man who Wept

There he lies

The Man who Wept

Thoughts racing through his head

Like Reindeer racing through the night sky

The Man who Wept

All is still at rest

Except for The Man who Wept

How could he not rest

was one of mystery

and one of misery

The Man who Wept

A spark makes all thoughts

cease to exist

The Man who Wept

He discovers something

The Man who Wept

He discovers

Love

Clarity

Faith

Heart

The Man who Wept

He sits upright

and starts to think

The Man who Wept

He starts to cry

His red face

inside his tear catchers of his hands

The Man who Wept

He dries up his tears,

and begins to love,

The Man who Wept

He begins to feel

He begins to understand

The Man who Wept

"She moved through the fair

like the wind moves

through the air

and the ocean crashes the shore"

said The Man who Wept

"If love feels

as free as a dove,

then I am free and

I know my love."

He lays back down, now

with a grin and some rosy

cheeks upon his face, As he has

Now discovered his true love

for the lady with the long brown hair

makes the man feel at peace

The Man who Wept

This is powerful, you can almost feel the emotion and the change of mood throughout. You did a wonderful job with the transition from how he was sad and then figured out what it was playing on his mind. I like your work alot.
