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
