Flying with tears

I never thought of tears as something constructive. I usually thought of them as something I had to do because something was not going right or out of dispair. I really like this. It is a poem of hope. 

Tears are a river that take you somewhere.

Weeping creates a river around the little boat

carrying your soul-life.

Tears can lift that little boat off rocks,

off dry ground, carrying it downriver

to someplace new, someplace better.
