Crystal Teardrop Falls

Crystalline Waterfall cascading Nature's teardrops dance in unison Small prisms Gathering the Son's light Spirits rise as water cascades down A rainbow Appearing in the mist An ancient promise that has been kept I breathe in Exhale with a prayer As a single crystal teardrop falls Nette's contest stuck in my head, I had to come back to submit this poem. Written by: Richard Lamoureux November 3rd, 2014.

It barely made the list, kinda lonely all the way down at the bottom. Kind of poetic in a way because with a waterfall every drop eventually find it's way to the bottom.

And I had to post a comment on this beauty, Richard. Gathering the Son's light...oh, yes. Going into the water...with your old self.....and coming up to a new life in Him...Death and resurrection...Exhale with a prayer...What a beautiful piece this is. It even looks like tears...Tears of joy. Bless you for sharing your faith here. We need more poems of this nature....That's why...you shouldn't stay away for long...I would miss you dearly.
