TEARFUL EYES

A poem about a sorrowful Mother who has seen her son die in front of her own 'tearful eyes...'

        TEARFUL EYES

Along the riverside, in the woods, so dark,

Let me sit for hours reflecting on my life;

To let the horror of the past come alive,

To gather thorns of sorrow and grief;

To be lost in the arms of despair;

Wicked witches around me in the robes of distress;

Dancing to the tunes of blue devils unfair!

With tearful eyes she stood by the cross,

 

Her heart filled with rues and woes across.

Came upon her the blessed light,

Said the almighty "Do not fear my child !'';

For those who cry in misery and pain, 

Serene flowers of contentment are granted to them!

With tearful eyes she walked hurriedly on the road of fear,

Halted for a moment her feet so pure;

Serenity in her words so clear,

Spoke the virgin '' Let it be by your will,

Who am I to interfere.......!''

This is such a beautiful write, there is pain, sadness of the past in the poem but the ending was superb as it really inspired me... Thank you for that... This reminds of a story where a man being under extreme pressure of life asks Jesus "why are you doing this much trouble to me? Why Jesus?" hearing this Jesus asked him one simple question "do you trust me?" when the man answered yes to that question, Jesus said " if you trust me then don't think about future, I'm doing this for your good"...

The poem sounds well, it has lovely structure and flow... Very enjoyable my frnd...

Wow! Lovely poem. Good use of rhyming at the places where you have rhymed. Plus, sadness has been expressed vividly. The scene is set in the dark woods which add to the melancholy that prevails. Keep writing.

Thanks a lot..This poem is about the Holy Mother Mary. The scene when Jesus died on the cross and Mother Mary was standing beside him watching all the suffering and pain that her child was going through at that moment is depicted in the poem. I am glad that you liked it..Thanks a lot for your review :)
