The Weeping

January 31, 2009

The river was shallow and steep

Crystal waters ran through earthen pathways

slow and discreet

Going along the rest of the world

In silence, unnoticed, serene

Until it had had enough

And as it took its deep and treacherous breath

Animosity rages freely through the earth

In tears, taking everything on its path

And for a moment the world stood still

In awe and horror

As the once calm and crystal waters

Drown the earth with its raging sorrow
