Tear Drops

Droplets of water,

Gliding gracefully;

Leaving a trail behind,

But soon lost down the alley.

Let me free from my prison, they say

Now is your chance.

Let all the pain out, they say

Let me dance and prance.

On a journey they go;

Transparent and grey.

Their life is so short,

Yet they never fray.

Calm as a dreamless sleep,

Vigorous as a battle spear,

Like the raging seas,

Trapped in a droplet of tear.
