Salt

infinite
an unlimited number of thoughts
racing
pounding
like a raindrop that drops
from unimaginable heights
to the earth below
uncared for
wasted
in this rat race of life
so too is it ignored
when from the eye of a child
drops a single salt tear

romance
a whirlwind of delights
in the midst of sorrows
heartbreaks
and when a lover cries
do any see the salt river
that flows from their eyes
of the wasted labor
called "love"

merciless
waves dashing against the shore
that tickle the toes
of a little girl or boy
who stands at the edge
of the ocean
feeling the water wash up on their feet
never understanding
the significance
of the movement of the tides
a ocean of salt water
that has yet to be cried
