the flames of unrequited love often fall like tears from the windows to the soul or heart of a woman.


Fate of Tears (Tanka)

tenderness ignites
love's hidden embers to flame
glowing as fire burns
creating warmth from within
eyes pour truth through silent tears

So beautiful! Interestingly, this sparked a mind movie of the Prodigal Son falling into his father's forgiving arms. Then a scene of a woman broken by neglect, being touched by Jesus and immediately realizing her full worth.
