Single Tear

a poem of acceptance

a single tear 

rolls down my cheek 

thinking of you 

in goodbyes

parting ways

i dared not speak 

darkness 

offers brand new light 

nothing shall 

remain the same 

connection is 

so brief 

together riding 

along the plane 

never venturing 

underneath 

we pushed we tried 

with all our might 

both knowing

all was lost 

a single moment 

was our plight 

love given 

at no cost  

as the tear 

is swept away 

within the gentle

evening air 

acknowledging

the lessons taught  

stripping my 

soul to bare

You have to so soft in your nature so as to observe and write so much about a teardrop. But you are. Thank you so much for sharing this poem.

This poem is beautiful. I didn't know we could write so much about a single tear. Amazing. :)

This is great the emotions are so raw in this poem. You did a great job on it.

I read this twice, three times, to soak in the images. Beautifully stated, at the end I am seeing Rick and Ilsa parting at the airport, surrounded by the fog, Rick telling Ilsa she would regret it if she stayed - "Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life."
So, somehow in your sparse, simple words, you made that whole movie replay for me. Must find the DVD in this mess and watch it again this weekend.
OK, I really like this one. A lot. You may not have been able to tell that though.

Hey Noel,

Thank you for reading and thank you even more so for your thoughts you have offered ... Funny thing is I have never watched Casablanca ... (Just googled it to make certain my hunch was right) I am glad you loved it as I do ... This one was just simply proffered up from the everywhen ...

a refreshing rebirth through the pain .. that's what your poem gives me this morning ... especially like the first verse a single tear thinking of you in goodbyes .. .love that!!
