I'm in a melancholy mood today...I've felt it trying to grab me for a while now. This poem has been in my head since yesterday. So...here it is. This too shall pass.
A Million Tears
Silent teardrops
Flood my soul…
For those departed
Long ago…
Some I held
In warm embrace…
Bestowing kisses
On each face.
Some…
I only longed to hold.
To love and shelter…
From the cold.
Death came swiftly
Stealing them…
That deep, dark presence
On the wind.
It whispers
These are mine…
Now we seek
But cannot find.
Voices lost
In swirling years
In vain…
We shed a million tears.

I hope your mood lifts soon - it's unfortunately that time of the year - best thing to do is accept it rather than fighting it and hpoefully it'll go away soon.
