God's Tears

A very short poem

And here we see

God’s tears dashed across the night

Shimmering glistening

A beacon burning, endless, bright

Across the heavens scattered drops

Beneath the widowed veil

We see the same tears flow

Of love and loss and hurt

A reflection cast on earth below

Mercy and severity

Echo in the cosmos farthest reach

Nearness and distance

Converge into one, no longer each

And twinkle in the night’s tender drops
