A Tear Fell

All about hope after despair

 

A Tear Fell   

 

A tear fell from the sky

It touched her lips

And quenched her thirst

In the desert of her life

 

The sun sent its rays

To warm the cold heart

That wanted to stop beating

In her empty chest

 

A flower bloomed

Before innocent eyes

And she beheld

The brushstroke of God

 

The wind blew

And whispered her name

Carrying her

To a familiar happy place

 

A seemingly random thought

Entered her mind

And she pondered the possibility

She could be reborn

Started off wonderful...
I liked the metaphor... "And quenched her thirst In the desert of her life." It is nice to read a poem that ends in hope. Thanks for sharing.

One word: whoa.

Simple and sweet. I'm sure I've read other poems very similar to this one before. The reason is that these same images (a tear, the sun, a flower) are some of the most commonly used. But in it's simplicity this poem uses them well, leaving an impact of hope.
