New Poem

 Here is a new poem written for The Whispering of Magpies (which will hopefully be published soon). Enjoy!

Have you ever seen a soldier cry?

Blood and tears

And red-rimed eyes.

Have you ever seen a soldier cry,

Because even all the bravest die. 

Have you ever seen a madman cry?

Laughs and tears 

And crazy eyes.

Have you ever seen a madman cry,

Because even all the strangest die. 

Have you ever seen a beggar cry?

Dirt and tears

And hungry eyes.

Have you ever seen a beggar cry,

Because even all the poorest die. 

Have you ever seen a rich king cry?

Gold and tears

And woeful eyes. 

Have you ever seen a rich king cry,

Because even all the richest die. 

Have you ever seen the good Lord cry?

Nails and tears

And heavenly eyes.

Have you ever seen the good Lord cry,

Because even God Himself did die.
