When Hope Turns to Tears
Look for the sun, have courage, don’t give up
When Hope Turns to Tears
Hope glimmers softly in the night,
A fragile flame, a beacon bright.
But winds can howl and skies can break,
And shadows rise for hope to take.
The dreams we hold, the silent prayers,
Can crumble fast beneath despair.
What once felt close now drifts away,
A sun eclipsed by clouds of grey.
Tears fall where courage used to grow,
A whispered ache, a quiet woe.
Each droplet speaks of battles fought,
Of love desired, of lessons taught.
But tears, though bitter, cleanse the pain,
A healing stream, a soft refrain.
For from the sorrow hope can bloom,
Like flowers born of morning’s gloom.
So let the tears fall as they must,
Through grief, rebuild your sacred trust.
For though it fades, hope reappears,
Renewed in strength through broken tears.

Ghostly Happenings in Colorado
Disturbed Spirits In Denver, an expanse of greenery, Cheesman Park comes with a macabre history since it was once a burial ground known as Mount Prospect Cemetery established by General William Larimer in 1858. The job of exhuming bodies began, and some were left behind resting beneath the park. However, the ghostly spirits don’t wish to rest in peace beneath the park, and visitors here have felt cold touches, seen ghostly children playing at night, and heard a singing lady who disappears when approached.

Nothing wrong in shedding a few tears for it will make a person feel better physically and emotionally. Beautiful and good work.
Beautiful poem Marie. We all must needs cry sometimes in order to cleanse the soul. 🥲
A well-wrought and lovely sentiment!
