A
tribute to my dear friend Fair Ellen
Heavenly
tears
Tears
fall from heavenly skies,
cool touches on her skin,
tiny crystals reflected by eyes,
fluttering of eyelids, protecting,
she
turns away her face,
stares at the crystal blue splashes,
falling down in scattered grace,
observed through silk eyelashes,
ripples
formed within lakes,
by silent crystals descending,
the rustling sound they make,
nature's peace reflecting,
within
the crystal silver walls,
her silhouette stands mirrored,
silver raindrops silently fall,
dry earth they have conquered,
by her
mirrored soul confronted,
so fair and strong she stands,
her kindness, love reflected,
she extends her tender hands,
a
smile on mirrored faces,
with the raindrops she submerges,
where mirrored soul's embrace is,
expressed by heavenly tears...
