My Soul's Tears
When you wake up and see the world as it is, there is no going back to what was.
My Soul's Tears 
Such a nice sentiment. We all need a little reminder to stop and smell the flowers or enjoy the sunset. Lovely job!
Oh I love this Mark, I’m always the one daydreaming out of the window…I hate that people don’t notice things!
You’ve painted a good scene here, Mark. I like the tension between what is and what could be. Our lives could be so much richer if we appreciated the beauty around us.
Very cool Mark. We’d see much more in life if we only looked.
A lovely way of putting this. It is good when we can remind ourselves of all the little touches of wonder that we often overlook.
A necessary and beautiful lesson in artful wording. Great work, Mark.
Mark, this is lovely. Such a gentle reminder that if we connect with the simple things, we connect with each other. The smile of a stranger can give us that bit of hope in humanity that we so desperately need!
