This grieving place, which you chose
is an arid field where nothing grows.
I'll catch your tear in my hand
and deny it to the desert sand.
Your tears are like a liquor sweet,
brewed from your sorrow and defeat.
Distilled to make a healing balm,
with powers to sprout a rose in my palm.

Type II poet. Its worth the work.

Simply beautiful! Beauty lies in the "hands" of the beholder.
