A FLOWER’S TEARS <br /> <br />A taverna, back of nowhere <br />strong spirit to ease the soul <br />a small child with care drawing <br />pencil slow in motion <br /> <br />Just a moment of nothing <br />a few moments out of time <br />to glance at the moving pencil <br />and the graceful hand that held it <br /> <br />Such care and concentration <br />whatever could her picture be? <br />to move the head a little closer <br />to see what eyes could see <br /> <br />Eyes took in her heart was crying <br />for a life that would never be <br />hers’ only toil and birth <br />and the misery that is Earth <br /> <br />Some they bloom in springtime <br />the mountain crocus blooms in fall <br />yet this was the very first time <br />the eyes took in a flower’s tear<br /><br />HOWLIN' DERVISH<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-flower-s-tears/
