What Is In a Tear just a single drop you see fallen from the heart of me but in this liquid drip of soul are my emotions in a whole it falls from truth and verity it falls from loves own clarity it falls from hope's sincerity it falls from soul deep rarity it slowly trails across my cheek control of sorrow I do seek but fail so perfectly and well 'tis not yet time to sadness quell it falls for distance and for time it falls for one more heartfelt rhyme it falls for heights I cannot climb it falls for love of ours sublime a drop of life of mine from deep of heart so full, no more 'twould keep and so this tear it had to be shed from deep inside of me it falls for stolen months and days it falls for nights of lonely grays it falls for pain in many ways it falls for hope still firm ablaze Anne Nederlof
