Vintage Sherry: Canopy of Tears

Note: A lot of poetry I wrote during high school reflected my disintegrating faith in church and my church's practice of Christianity.

Canopy of Tears

Water trickles
Meanders upon
This stone
Rigid
Unmoving
Voiceless
Water trickles
Creeping forward
Filling pores
Finding cracks
Settling within
Water trickles
Pouring down
Splashing
Blurring visions
Depleting senses
Water trickles
Swirling across
Mingling
Whirlpools cycling
Canopy of tears
Water trickles
Spiraling maze
Seeking
Flowing
Rippling into
Saltine elixir
