Jan's Poem

TEARS

Let them flow
Let them flow
Like the river Nile
Mist from my soul
Twin rivers of pain

Let them flow
Let them flow
Like the river Danube
Balm for my misery
Two rivers of torment

Trails of bitterness
Salt of sorrow
Streaming, rolling,
a torrent of anguish,
Twin rivers of woe

Let them flow
Let them flow
Rivers of remorse
quench my melancholy soul
Two rivers of pain
