Tears

Tear Vase
sorrow is

seeing your reflection in the tear of a loved one

feeling the tear of a mother, who is mourning the death of her son, fall on your cheek while in an embrace.

the world blurs and melts as my eyes well up with tears.

I first learned about tear vases in an Italian museum 1993

Lots of traditional references to death; sleep, dark, cold
