Innocent Tears

9/3/2019
raining down from clouds of gray
heavy hurt on a joyous day
the sun shines brights, but not this way
everyone else sees laugh and play
they see not the darkness on display
behind the curtain drowning in shame
my perfect angel, is she to blame?
treading just above the wave
my angel is crying, an eternal slave
do i reach out a hand, will anyone save?
or do i die alone in my watery grave?
a miracle born when you took the stage
your entire life: an unwritten page
will you incite cheer or riot or rage?
or will you bring peace to a world ablaze?
your innocent tears suppress the haze
showering the earth; to all amaze
while bringing a steady deluge of craze
my child, i know not what you say
let me dry your tears, put your fears at bay
for this alone do i pray
