Silent pear-shaped world of water;
Ocean of pain trapped in a drop
Sliding slow as frozen glaciers
Down the cheek to trickle stop
Saline bitter; sometimes sweet
Always salty as the sea
Where emotions mix and meet
From the hearts of you and me
Soothing balm to pain and fear
Sadness caught or rapture’s joy
All contained within the sphere
Encapsulated by the envoy
Messenger of pride and pain
From young child to dying old
They are drops of our heart rain
From the windows of our soul
Blood is life so oft is said
It goes unchallenged when we hear it
Clearer than the crimson red
Is the bearer of the spirit
Offering this wisdom now
For every heart and soul to hear
Sacred as the wedding vow
Is the shedding of a tear
