Tears - The Unspoken Words

                   TEARS 

    'The Unspoken Words'

   Tears are like prisms....

They're colourless yet reflect all the colours passed through each pain.

     We get hurt. We cry. We are broken. We do cry. We're happy. Again, we cry. 

        Tears are not mere water droplets. They're feelings, they're emotions which no longer could be held by those strong ropes of our mind.

    The tears dropped from his eyes unknowingly seeing the small bundle of innocence - his son - his heartbeat. Serving the country, guarding the borders, his only hope was to survive for the next coming months at least - not for himself - but for him who gave him the title of "Father" . 

 

     "Madam, can you please connect this phone call to my home.I'm in a spacecraft which has lost control. Please. " 

  " Ahh I'm sorry to hear that. 

       Yes sure, I'll contact your family . Please provide the number."

     A moment of silence follows while the telephone rings..... 

  "Honey it's me.""

  "How come it's you.. Weren't you.... In the space craft... "

" Listen to me dear,Just listen to me, for a next few minutes, maybe my last few minutes..." 

 "Oh dear... Are you...." 

" Yes.. Take care of yourself. I love you. I've always." 

    She cried knowing she's too far to help him. She's too far to see him for one last time. 

     "Daddy, is that you? You called from there. I knew you would miss me."

      Happy tears ran down her face. Oblivious to the condition her daddy's in, unknown to the fact that she's listening to his voice for the very last time. Her daddy means the world to her after all. She misses him. 

      " Yes darling it's your daddy. Can you see the stars out there".   

"I can. Yes." 

"Wave towards them. Say you love me, waving towards the sky."    

"Daddy you're so funny. But okay, I'll wave at them,for you." 

         The mother cried in pain, the daughter cried in joy. Both talked to the same person. One cried at her loss, knowing all her hopes went in vain, other cried in happiness ,hoping her dad would return soon. 

     Both cried out their feelings. But the meaning of these tears were different. 

       Tears aren't mere droplets. They define the feelings we've caged in our hearts. 

          Let your tears come; let them water your soul.

Tears don't make you weak. Sometimes it's okay to cry. Let the body let go the pain it held since along time. After all, how much more can it trap inside it?

Let those hot tears flow and let the heat of injury leave you with a lesson - to make yourself bolder. Let these tears flow because they will heal you , they will water the soul which has withered. 

      

       Lessons are learnt, once tears have dried. 

     As these tears flow , you learn . You learn what the world is like .You learn the unexplained meaning of pain,deceit,cheat,lies and many more. 

             People cry not because they're weak ,           but because they've been strong for too long.

         - JOHNNY DEPP

The joy dripping from teary lashes in the form of happiness is a scene to be captured inside hearts.

            Emotions overloaded inside the heart, the heart filled with merriment, the eyes allowed the feelings to flow , the eyes allowed the happiness to slide down the entire face,washing the dirt of sadness. And the face gleamed like pearls.

            Three hours of patience, three hours of pain ,three hours of struggle -  pearls formed in the eyes of the mother. The eyes heavy with emotions started dropping those pearly tears on her face and some on to the baby. He opened his eyes to look at his mother and smiled. She cried out in happiness letting herself believe -Yes, I'm a mother now.

           Daughter and father hugged each other .She'll always be his heart , and he'll always be her hero. The wedding showered new happiness upon her. But daddy's princess couldn't help but cry. Her best friend will be with her always and forever but she''ll miss him.

                

Tears flew smudging the eyeliner, washing away the foundation. But she was always beautiful for him.

          Daddy hugged his doll close to his heart and cheered her up. He smiled and laughed for her. But the glassy eyes, the water filled corners told a different story. He'll miss her the most.

       She fought with her cousin. She badmouthed her.She ran out. Her tears took a toll on anger. 

        She saw her going away. She was helpless. At  the end , it was her fault only.

 3 days later .......

Those puffy eyes filled with water dragged them towards each other. 

One apologised , another accepted. 

         Not a word spoken , yet tears spilled each letter drop by drop.

    Sisterhood won . Tears played the cupid.

What a weird girl , they assumed her to be. She cried on getting successful.

 Little did they know ,crying herself to sleep , she once promised to her tears - next time you fall, you'll encounter an upward parabola on my face. Little did they know, her tears gave her the sense of achievement. 

       Tears of raindrops are like summer rain drops pierced with sunbeams.

          Each drop of water you shed ,when you're in pain, trails down the face , traces a mark of a lesson you learned . 

Each drop of you feel on your face, when you're happy , waters the skin to let it shine in joy.
