Tears Poem


Tears, idle tears,
Stop!
Tears, soulful tears,  
Start!  
Tears, helpless tears,  
Continue!  
Tears, determined tears,
Reach!

~


Before I accepted  
The life of aspiration,
My tears were the tears
Of real sorrow.
Now that I have accepted
The life of aspiration,  
My tears are not tears of sorrow
But tears of real joy.

~


I like the tears  
That flow from the depth
Of my helpless despair.
I love the tears
That flow from the depth
Of my dawning aspiration.
I adore the tears  
That flow from the depth
Of my Liberation-sea.
