    That Moment

    Today I opened my eyes
    Felt the tears stream down
    And saw the look behind your eyes
    You took my face and cradled it
    Within your strong calloused hands

    You lifted my chin
    And gently kissed away each tear
    You brushed the hair from my eyes
    And asked me not to cry

    I stared at your face
    And realized that you too,
    Had begun to cry

    And in that moment of silence
    I realized that the tears I shed
    Were being caught by you,
    Shared by you,
    Erased by you

    And in that moment of beauty
    I realized my tears
    Weren't that big at all

    Now that's what I'm talking about. That was beautiful. Not only did leap over the bar on this challenge, you far surpassed the bar. My eyes started to well up, and that has never happened on anything I have read on this site. Well done, SMILES Vincen

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.
