Trickle Me Down

A gray-torn sky hangs above the world like a grim lid 
and all the pretty stars are shyly hid 
But between the pillows of that heavy cloud 
falls down a trickling tear sparkling proud 
Midst the dim and the quiet anger 
there comes a familiar word from the wandering stranger 
"Peace and love comes through the night, 
for those who feign the obstructed sight." 
Cryptically spoken with hushed cries 
skin may thin but hope never dies 
at least not tonight under the angel's frown 
because eternal love trickles down
