A Tear

A Tear . . .

holds the sadness of humanity

in a moment

of suspended animation

as it eases

down the corridors of pain

which crease the withered face.

The agony of man

echoes through the dark chambers

of the wounded soul.

Crying silently in the dark.

Who hears the tears fall?

When Atlas Shrugged
