Dry Tears

Dry tears

Well up in between

Captured images

People hurting

Others dying

Others praying

Others crying…

Dry tears

Well up between

Yesterdays

Lost tomorrows

Looking for happiness

Finding sorrows

Pushing back dry tears…

Christine McNeill-Matteson

Christine is a published poet and published author of songs and journals. She has been writing poems since she was 9 years old, hiding her work in her Grandparents’ bookcase. As she grew older she hoped to hide them in the hearts and minds of the people she loves, and all lovers of the Arts.

Traveling and rearing her children, she continued to write and studied Psychology and Anthropology. The ‘soul’ of the pen has been her expression through education as well as her creativity of life’s observances. She is a runner, hiker, and photographer, all of which lends to her creativity and love nature.
