When Tears Fall To the Sky
In a forgettable world
Where memories thrive
Concealed sorrow lingers
At its ubiquitous grave site
Around every corner
In a wandering conscience
Rests a deceased pandemonium
Forever unsilenced
Snowy carnations survive
From the moistening pain
Falling from the figurative
Eyes in our brain
If only others could know
The turmoil inside
Yet afflicted drops fall to the Earth
As if to run and hide
Only to dry themselves
And return to what is customary
A universe parallel
To this reminiscent cemetery
If only these flowing reflections
Could sprout wings and soar
And seek out comfort and guidance
As opposed to solitude and remorse
But the day will come
When your existence is called to subside
When all that remains dismisses your mind
A day when all of your tears will fall to the sky
