A Tear In the Sand
There on the sands of time ,
he poured his heart out .
Watched as it blew with the wind,
to mix with the other grains.
A tear coursed down his cheek,
to land upon the parched sand.
His head he dropped in sorrow,
to see a flower where the tear had landed.
There in the stark barren landscape ,
a tiny bit of color bloomed.
warming his heart,
more than the sun ever could.
