146. A Tear

A tear fell from my cheek
The sole reminder of love lost
It splashed upon the ground
Orphaned by events never meant to be
Created as a result of life’s passion
Never quite knowing the reason why
It’s course charted by life
Existence dictated by destiny
Had things been different
It may have joined in jubilation
Yet consolation elicits joy
The earth welcomes all visitors
Sorrow begets happiness
