Sky Tears the sky is crying stars the tears fall here, there little spats of light that break go streaking down the night's enshadowed face tumbling through the surface of an endless depth of space light drops go dropping without sound and never touch the ground when sun comes they'll be falling still a sadness we will never see sky tears in daylight falling endlessly |

I loved this! Nice job relating the stars to tears! I really enjoyed this line: *when sun comes they'll be falling still a sadness we will never see |

I was gonna raz ya bout where the next verse is..but this is too lovely to care.  well done poet sir.  I refuse to accept that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism & war that the daybreak of peace can never be reality. |

Guilty, JM....this little meteor shower did get in the way of our duet....as such things will... I promise to be a good boy and write more as soon as my muse dries herself off a bit, changes into that terrycloth bathrobe I like so much.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

There is so much we will never see, or allow others to come that close to where our tears fall. For me, it only adds to my heartache. Sadly, the weeping in this. |

There is definitely something magical about meteor showers. I have even wakened up my daughters in the middle of the night, driven out into the countryside--away from the light pollution of the burbs--for them to behold the splendor of a meteor shower. Wrapped in blankets and armed with binoculars and cameras, we truly enjoy the celestial display. Your poem was absolutely delightful! Thank you!  Lovin' hugs, EA |
