_Journey Through a Life Once Lived_

Some days I look back on my life  
And I wonder  
How I did it all?

The teardrops falling down my face,  
Rivers on a mountain side  
With smooth, unbroken ridges  
Where did they come from?  
Why did I have so many tears to shed?  
What dawned on the day the sun rose?  
How many golden streaks of light filled the day  
With empty thoughts that fluttered through my head  
Causing me to shed such bitter tears  
Sad tears, Happy tears,  
Tears that shed their own reflection  
To collect in a pool splashed in by the air.  
  
Each tear has it's own story  
It's own journey down the face  
Of the person who cries it.  
The person who sheds it's lost tear  
Falling down the face of the broken soul  
It used to linger from  
Black fans fanning the waves of tears  
To be broken of fall by the ground itself.  
  
But tears don't have to be the end.  
They are a milestone in our lives.  
The tears we shed are tears once spent  
Making a memory in our lives;  
Like a carving in the stone, the tear memories  
Are here to stay.
