TEARS IN HEAVEN!

When the rain drops fell on my parched
lips, -
I liked them up with great haste,
But it had a funny salty taste!
It made me to pause and wonder why? !
Perhaps the sorrowing tears of our many
destitutes,
And from all our the suffering multitudes, -
Evaporates and is embraced by the sky,
Transforming into clouds flying up high!
And when her bosoms get heavily filled,
It showers down in drops of rain,
To present an azure blue slate once again!
As we look up with hopes and aspirations
once more,
With dreams of better things beyond!
