Rain drops dance

as a flushed pink lily

peeks through the faded gray

horizon.

 

Why must sadness be

so painfully beautiful?

A teardrop down

 a soft cheekbone,

a breaking heart,

the flowers on

a wooden casket.

 

Yet people are so afraid

to look beneath

the surface of

the yellow sun.

See the burning desire,

the sadness welling up

inside.

Afraid to cry out,

close the door

and say goodbye.

But the sky knows

to dance

to dance till

light seeps through

the gray.
