Tears cascading the rivers
of innocence, down the corners
of the ocean mouth
sipping the salty essence
of bitterness
raging from within.
Cries implore
the deepest melody
of a bruised heart,
echoing the name
of the beloved
snatched by nature’s wrath.
Faith buoyed emotions
under silvery moon
drowsing fears
lulled by the subdued glow
of moonlit . . . . waning.
Tears streaming to low ebb
a moment of respite
of an ailing soul
of the universe.
