A single tear slipped from her eye on to a pallid cheek to rest
Then trickled slowly to her chin
To gently fall on to her breast
A moment on the nipple then by gravity it fell again
And on her belly it did lie
Before it eased towards her thigh
Along that milky limb it ran
Towards her knee and on and on
It reached her ankle then her toe
There was but one more place to go
And so it rested on the ground
A captive tear
At last
Unbound
In to the dust it nearly died
Like all the tears my Lady cried
The little tear did seep below
At last it found a tiny seed
And gave itself
Unselfishly
Another life had now been freed
The little seed did fight and toil
It pushed and pushed with all its might
To find the air
That it did crave
And bask itself in radiant light
The little seed became a stem
Growing stronger by the hour
Until that day
In glorious sun
The stem produced a flower
Each petal opened
One by one
To welcome in the heat
Such beauty
Standing tall and straight
How glorious how sweet
I hear you ask
But what of she
My Lady of the tear
Did she succumb to heartbreak\'s touch
Surrender to her fear
My Lady
Like our little seed
Took time to find her fight
Yet day by day she carried on
A spirit seeking light
One morning
As she walked outside
It was early in the hour
She rested
And she sat beside
Our friend the little flower
She leaned to breathe the sweet , sweet scent
It was then she came to see
That one day
She will bloom again
Her heart
At last
Was free.
