In our society men in particular have been taught not to cry, to put a brave face when they are hurt. All of us at one time feel that the only way to survive is to close off our feelings and emotions so we can't be hurt again. And if pain is deep we might even try not to acknowledge within. This can make us frozen, rigid, because deep down we know that one small break in the ice will free the hurt to start circulating through us again. The rainbow colored tears on this person's face hold the key to breaking out of this ice_olation. The tears, and only the tears have the power to melt the ice. It’s okay to cry, and there is no reason to feel ashamed of your tears. Crying helps us to let go of pain, allows us to be gentle with ourselves, and finally helps us to heal.!! Rekha J. Singh

'The frozen tears dazzle the eye'

The frozen tears dazzle the eye

No fright, no fear

The dazzling bright eye

Reveals the truth of the tranquil mind;

No thoughts, no words, after the pain

The efforts of emotions went in vain.

The rainbow tears frozen to pearls

The soul peeped out through the window

Blind in and out, in the dazzle of its own light

No spark, no flicker, no fizz or flash

No confusion, no sorrow, no havoc or a mess

There remained the eye of the hurricane.

Whizzing and whirling had no power

The quiet peaceful, tranquil mind

Had shut the window of the emotions  

With the peaceful, unruffled, calm mind and will power

The pearls in the eye triumphing the victory over tears.
