They appeared at the rim, <br />but refused to come over it. <br />I don't know why-- <br />they seemed frightened a bit. <br /> <br />For a little while.... <br />I too shared their fear......... <br />For one everlasting moment, <br />I didn't know what to do. <br /> <br />I remembered them flowing by, <br />And creating a satisfying hollow <br />somewhere deep within; with a sigh <br />I let the memory flash by. <br /> <br />From a dark corner somewhere, <br />I heard a child's cries..... <br />Crying out with all its sorrows- <br />River of tears from its eyes. <br /> <br />They were there, still there- <br />They glittered and they danced around..... <br />Sparkling-yet with unfulfilled wishes, <br />looking to hide somewhere underground...... <br /> <br />Where no one would see me, <br />where no one would come. <br />Where i would only hear the child's cries <br />Where-I would die-- <br />...with the tears-- <br />still dancing in my eyes...........<br /><br />maria rahman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dancing-tears/
