Nature's Tear

Soft red velvet touch

yielding to emotion

single tear that's held

 a sign of devotion

This droplet holds a world

as if it's upside down

revealing such mysteries

 clinging onto its crown

A tender sense of passion

as the tear gently falls

for gravity its mistress

 and disappointment calls

Much beauty in the flower

and nature has its way

there's sorrow in this passing

at the end of the day.
