Tears carries away pain

tears carries away pain
cleans the window of soul
to let us see
another side to life

after a hard cry
the heart feels lighter
a hill wedges itself between
bearer and agony

as flowers of well wishers
start to fade, wither
pain too loses its grip

one should learn
to accept life
the way a rose
withers crumples, scatters
in the the wind
