Power Of A Tear
A poem
Hearts have become hard as hard as diamond-stone, Not easy to shatter, they stand alone.
For hearts, like diamonds, though hard In their depths,a hidden flame spark , Reflecting the light of the storms, they’ve faced in the dark.
As heavy as mountains, they stand still, unmoved by wind, Yet holding the power to love beyond compare.
But when a single tear, begins to fall in a prayer A tear from the heart, so true, that a hardened shell begins to crack, Wiping away the blackness it kept through.
The things once held so close and dear, Now hide away through known fear. Transforming the cold, warmth begins to grow, Changing the game by the will of God.
Now, seeing the world with the clear sight, Where once the eyes were open but hearts were blind.
In the silent cracks, peace softly waves, As hearts facing challenges stand firm to true beliefs.
