A Little Bit of Soap

At the risk of being Keatsian this morning, I'd like to say that all things are transient. Both joy and sorrow last but for a time. And the lesson we can draw from this is....

Everything lasts but for a time, and time itself moves in a cycle. The transience and change can be navigated with a bit of management.

That requires a bit of understanding, communication, and a clear vision. 

So when we feel down for any reason, remember that a little bit of soap does wash away your tears. 

Tears line the sides of the cheeks

Making one worse for wear

Weary water that makes one weak

Water that does not stay

For one moment, stains the face

Soap bubbles wash away

Droplets for the day remain

Soap vanquishes at its end

Will not leave behind a stain

See-through tears that one should know 

To grasp and chart their form

To properly map their flow

Tells of one's tears to friends

To stop their watery track

And bring them to an end

Tears, like all else, do not tarry

When eyes are full and clear 

For the way forward, and what to carry

And trivialities to bury.
