When Two Teardops Touch

Folder: 
Poetry

The stars of Heaven shatter,
Falling far and wide;
These tears of heaven scatter,
And in the heart abide;

In the night they travel,
Streaking through the sky;
Showing me their fleeting life,
As I quickly see them die;

The dying embers weaken,
Drifting upon the wind;
Piercing the veil of shadows,
From the tempest they transcend;

In your eyes I see those stars,
As they fall in tears;
Just like so many I have shed,
Throughout the passing years;

Our tears are born of the Heavens,
Born of angels, ether, and such;
So how can there be sorrow,
When two such teardrops touch?
