A tear, slowly trickling down a cheek
Salty, stinging as it makes its way down
Tears of effort and laborious work
Striving, reaching towards a goal far away
In vain this tear is, pain sorrow and all
There will be no results to satisfy,
No meaning, or destination at all
To balance the embittering, stinging…
PAIN
No more perseverance will yield results
Hope vanishes like a sad blown out spark
That has taken sweaty hours to build
The rain comes, the spark will never return
Then…
A seed sprouts from the rain to a flower
Growing taller through the rain and sunshine
Smiling at the world and giving it hope
To try something new throughout all the rain

I live in Brooklyn. In my voluminous spare time I enjoy writing poetry, building robots, playing piano and guitar, crocheting amigurumis, and reading fantasy.
