by Walter William Safar
A raindrop slides down the rose's petal;
Like a human tear,
offering itself to a man;
Like a human tear,
Eternally haunted by the scream of sleepless nights;
Like a human tear,
Being born in the dark,
She does not know of the beautiful things;
Like a human tear,
Sliding slowly and proudly to the ground;
Like a human tear,
To be trampled by human feet.
