Brian Magness Poet Rhyme

Tear On a Cloud

I saw a tear on a cloud today,
I thought, because it just got blown away.
At second glance it seemed to come from somewhere else,
Higher up beyond the atmospheric shelf.

Maybe an astronaut in a shuttle,
Missing his love and needing to cuddle.
Or maybe the moon is feeling blue,
From the sun dictating what it will do.

Could be from a star gone a stray,
Trying to escape the Milky Way.
Maybe Saturn or Neptune lost a ring,
That could bring on quite a sting.

Then I realized that this tear was a sign,
It had generated from someone divine.
Beyond the moon, Jupiter, and Mars,
Farther than our galaxy and all the stars.

This tear traveled across gold streets and a tranquil sea,
Through pearly gates and all its glory.
From the Head of the Holy Trinity,
Begging us to become more like His Son who died on Calvary.
