Teary Questions

There are lots of things in this world which are born and then die for others, as if that was the very purpose of their birth. Tears are one of them. This is a poem I wrote on tears.

Eyes opened wide for a moment,

And then it closed,

Eyelids blinked just for a while,

Perhaps to cry, or was it to smile,

I wonder,

But then that drop of pearl,

Just peeped out of the eye,

And asked me a questions few,

Should I fall and shall I die?

Shall I drop to the earth and shatter into pieces,

But before I do,

Could you tell me a reason why?

I had no words and I had no answers,

I could just watch it happen,

Like a dumb spectator,

I saw it fall into the earth,

And shatter into pieces,

A moment ago, it was here,

And then I saw it disappear,

I wonder,

What the answers could be,

To questions a few my tears asked me.
