Rejected Drop Poem by A NAZAR

Rejected Drop
------------------
By A. NAZAR

A drop of tear escaped
My eyes yesterday
It fell on a petal of rose
The petal withered quietly
And fell on a touch -me- not
The plant blinked and turned blind.
A wisp of wind carried the petal
And dropped it into the stream nearby.
The stream led it to the sea.
The sea then tasted the petal
And whispered:
What a salty petal it is!

The waves ejected it back ashore.
There I found it again.
The single drop of my tear
Still glued onto the wilted petal!
(Of course I could feel it)
I picked it up.
And grieved.:
Why is there no one
To heed my weep?
