Tears blended in with rain
Like the potion of grief
Family and friends hugged
To squeeze emotions out
Into the air contaminated by
A crying spirit

We gather to soothe lovers and allow
Mother Nature to embrace the lost

That once smiling loved being
Back into dust form and
Cultivating to the blackness of sleep
As they inhabit hearts and make space
For the new generation

These tears filtered into the ground
And fed the dead to bear new beings
As in the renewal of nature
