These crystalline tears are shed for you —
An offering of glistening light
on the altar of Memory.
They are a liquid mantra quietly sung —
A magic murmur of sorrow
echoing through Time.
These drops of salt and water warm —
Assigned to your name
at the eternal Beginning.
They have waited lovingly
within sacred spaces for long, silent years —
a treasure consecrated to what was Us.
These crystalline tears are shed for you —
The light that sparkles in their depths
are the gleaming pieces of my Heart.
