A Senryu - Tears
We came equipped with tears....
Thinking back upon my tears....
When the tears began
It left no great thirst, I know.
My cheeks were ready.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
My handkerchief, too.
My mind and heart touching.
This heart and others'.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Sometimes both would cry.
Common good, common shatter;
Sometimes all alone.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Heart strings plucked in tune,
Amazed at what one can do,
Amazed at what not.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Grief sometimes, not all.
Joy also makes the tears fall.
Coming and parting.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Deep feelings, any kind,
Windshield washers of the soul.
Making Future clear.

Thinking back....
Have you also cried for joy, grief, something unbelievable?

What brings on tears? Certainly crying, whether from sadness or from pain. But that is only one cause for tears, not all of them serious. And why, in battle, even when hurt, might we not cry at all?
