Saline

Salty kisses down the cheek

In times of joy,

And when we’re weak

Or have answers that we seek,

Tears shed when we’re high

Tears shed when we’re low

Even for unknown reasons

Some tears shed,

Planned or

Withheld

For some it’s a give

For other’s a take

Tears of joy

And of sorrow

Each a journey that we take,

Tender recollections of yesterday

And all the moments yet to play

Some tears stay and some tears leave,

Some are meant for others and freely flow,

Some tears we can’t let go

Each an outlet of its own
