Heaven's Tears

cries of tormented souls
rise up from purgatory
to beat impotently
upon heaven's gate,

Sol in sympathy
hides her bright regard
behind dark wispy veils
and mourns in secret,

but soon her sorrow
grows too great,
her veils overflowing
with unshed tears,

the terrible sound
of her heart breaking
echoes hollowly
over barren plains,

her tears fall,
and parched souls
open up to drink
this temporary grace.
