I cry

I cry in pain, I cry in joy.
I cry in loss, I cry in gaining.
Tears can come during sad times and happy time.
Such as the tears of the earth we know as rain pouring down to nourish our agricultural soil, although it pours in floods and ironically washes our soil away.
And we cry

I cry
I cry because of love,
I cry myself to sleep.
I cry silver tears of sorrows.
tears rolls down my cheeks,
pouring down like waterfalls.
The surface of our mother earth is saturated with tears we cry.

We cry and drown in an ocean of our tears.
I slipped and fell in a pool of tears I cried.
I find it hard to cross the valley filled with tears.
I cry whenever I'm hurt, I cry tears of joy.
In a lonely night I cry because I miss you,
Insomnia keeps me awake hence I cry.
