A tear fell from Heaven

I looked up-you were crying

For me?

For mankind?

Who knows?

A tear fell and it made a lake

A lake where once my home stood

More tears fell and my fields were flooded

Your tears became a downpour and flooded the land

From the top of the highest peak I watched

Watched the raging waters cover the earth

I looked up and you stopped crying

The clouds parted and out came the sun

You looked down at me and I saw love there

You winked at me, a sly, knowing wink

Then you were gone
