Path of A Tear

The tear trickles down reddened cheeks.
Into the shower,
spiraling down a hole leading
to waters of dirty crystal
and
to manmade power plants.
This tear traveling to rivers,
lakes and to the oceans
of the world.
That single tear making patterns
of crisscross design,
that spill over onto the soils of earth
giving her nutrients of life
and touchable radiance.
Ah!
The path of the tear
Look at theflourishing beauty of that single tear.
Praise to the powers that be.
Praise
The Path of The Tear.

Definatly, I totally agree QjQ. It takes something that would normally be mourned over and makes it known as a part of life. Not to dislike, but to be praised.

A wise teaching says:

          "Thou life shan't
           proceed with joy
           if there is no
         suffering to be delt"

congratulations on capturing the essence of that so well.

And you will weep
When you face THE END alone
You are lost
You can never go home
