Universal Language

Heart wrenching piece of work! Brilliantly wrote, brought goose bumps to my skin, brilliant just brilliant! 5/5

"Your blue eyes
had sunken in
and the haze that
had covered them
before your sadness
fell to your cheeks
was irrefutably
touching,"
--One of my favorite part. I love the way you worded it, the rhythm is cool and even the poem was written in the freelance the current of the flows are smooth and perfectly written.

"I'd recall the nights I
had slept over your
house and watched
you sew and knit, I
wondered how you
took care of your
grandkids as well
as your eight
angels."

--Even in this part itself, conveys the power of emotion, stated clearly the feelings of the persona...and wondering some things about her grandma...it so touchy, and even I drift with the emotion...

'When you lost
your son, it was
the first time I
could really see you,
and the sadness had
connected us
completely,"

--Wow. I think my feelings are already connect in this poem,too. Brilliant penned.

but the tears that
fell yesterday
drenched your
heart because you
had forgotten your
way home,

and I do hope
that one day
you'll find it.

--Well, genius writer knows how to end this piece...I love and enjoy reading from the beginning to the end part...very interesting and impressing. Great work:))

When I first read the title, I thought it was a bit robotic (?) for my tastes, but of course the actual poem changed my mind. The echo of the title here:
"your tears spoke
to me in a universal
language,"
was totally unexpected (for me) I just love it.
This is a very touchy topic to write about, and you penned it really well without actually overburdening the poem with emotion.
"but the tears that
fell yesterday
drenched your
heart because you
had forgotten your
way home,"
The imagery and emotion became one here, really breathtaking!
The ending was perfectly penned. Hope all the best for your grandmother.
