The Stone and the Tears
I threw a stone into the sea,
It sank beneath, I couldn’t see;
For the water was dark and deep
Like the night when sad people weep.
I let tears fade into the sea,
They disappeared, I couldn’t see;
For the ocean swallowed them all
After the moment they did fall.
From where I stood, just near the dock
I saw a stone beside a rock;
The steadiness for which I longed
Allowed my tears to make me strong.
