Silent Tears Poem by kaavyaa kriday

SILENT TEARS OFTEN FLOW,
WHEN THINGS WANTED-UNWANTED COME AND GO,
IN THE STILL NIGHT, COMES A SILENT SILVER TEAR,
AND FINDS ITS WAY TO DISAPPEAR,
OFTEN IN THE PILLOW,
WHEN NEXT COMES TO FOLLOW.

BRINGING ME THE LIGHT OF OLDEN-GOLDEN MEMORIES,
IN WHICH I COILD SEE MYSELF CHERISHING WITH MY CRONIES,
NOW, MY EYES GLISTEN, REMEMBERING WHEN WE LAUGHED TOGETHER,
AND, A FADING SMILE DANCES ON MY FACE,
REMEMBERING
WHEN WE CRIED TOGETHER.

NOW THESE TEARS ARE MY FOREVER FAITHFUL FRIENDS,
AND OFTEN COME TO GIVE ME SUPPORTING HANDS,
NOT JUST IN THE LONELY, LONG DARK NIGHT,
BUT ALSO IN THE BROAD DAYLIGHT.

I NEVER COUNTED THEM AS THEY HAVE COME AND GONE,
ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, FINDING ME TREADING ALONE,
FOR THEY ARE COUNTLESS AND ENDLESS,
AND TRYING TO COUNT THEM WAS JOB SO HELPLESS.

THUS, NOW AND THEN, SILENT TEARS OFTEN FLOW,
WHEN THINGS WANTED-UNWANTED COME AND GO......
