She sits beneath the willow
her heart filled with sorrow.
Wondering if even the Father
has forsaken her for another.
At rope's end she cries for mercy
tears roll to meet quivering lips.
With no concern for prying eyes,
to the comforter she clings.
Beneath the weeping willow
a gentle breeze blows.
Sorrow is replaced by eagerness to follow.
He loves her, that she knows.
Now the tears that flow
are not shed out of self pity,
but passion for those
who reject the Holy Trinity.

Poetry: Tears
A LITTLE GIRL CRIES
A little girl cries as she sits alone on the edge of her bed,
So perfectly made in her room so neat and
Moisture dropping upon my cheeks
My soul releasing
Clear droplets like the morning dew
Glistening on an aspen tree
Tears are
Tears
There it is again,
the unavoidable burning in my throat
that signals the trapped emotions of tears wanting to escape.
Quietly they fall, disturbing nothing.
No trace left behind as they vanish.
Yet their existence holds so much.
A clear morsel
Prettiness has dashed him awake
He has become nothing next to her power
Lost in his scattered tears
She has taken her stand
