Poem: "Tears of Awakening"

Tears of Awakening

By: Eve Estelle

I live every hour in a drowsy slumber,

My head held low, a silenced hunger;

The sky is a miracle that I've forgotten,

For my gaze is tethered to all that's rotten;

I wander lost, my shoulders ache,

A heavy weight I just can't shake -

Then came the day that changed it all,

Cold rain, cold rain, cold raindrops fall -

They strike, they splash, they wash away

All the troubles that dyed me gray;

Falling tears, these chains they break,

And now, at last, I wake.
