Tears Dry Into Salt

Did the gods meet at the salt sea and have a severe tragedy?
Where tears flowed from giant eyes and shook the earth in pain.
 
The puddle of tears is the remains of such a great loss of majesty
Saltly crystals must have dried from god's cheeks like rain

Creation of the world could be simply described poetically
Forget all the scientific reason, let poetic logic gain

**For the Tears contest
