Dancing Tears

Deaths hand dealt
	fire
		flung with fury
	towards fractured souls
		that felt
	life reduced
to fragmented parts

Crows feet
	walked on strange places
		following
	a lost trail
		leading
	from a desert oasis
		weathering
	its sand
		burning
them as they wept

Eyes
	pouring
		a river of faces
		currents of memories
	rolling
		on

Tears
	break
		the dam of dreaming
	that held back the reading
		of gravestone

Infinite space
	for last tear
		falling
	always
		falling
	towards the ground

forever
		embracing
	nights
		eternal
	sound
