Two Tears

Two tears fell from furious eyes Both of growing size Though one came first and the other last Both of them made a blast The ground was filled with tears and blood Came flowing like rushing flood The eyes that called the tears were drowned To deep sorrow they were bound How can the call of calming tune Halt the furious tears from falling, When the hearts struck by sand and stone Were the ones that did the calling? How can flowers bloom on fertile ground When they are cut before they grow, When the pipes that call the calming sound Are tore down before they blow? September 13, 2022
