Golden tears healing the hurt within, expressing, releasing, something bottled up.

Golden tears, rare as the red moon, they fall only as rain to nourish the soul.

Hi I’m Lucy Dan 蛋小姐 (she/her/她) and I want to thank Roselyn Violet for challenging me to the prompt: Golden Tears. It helped me reflect that I don’t often cry, as crying has been pitched to me as a weakness. Yet, every time I have cried, the tears were golden, the experience healing. Feel free to hop on and challenge me to a poem as well, or respond to this one and tag me in your response! ♥

Hop down the rabbit hole? 🐰🕳
