    One Tear

    "Time once scared his hopes astray
    On that day he left for the open sea.
    A minute seemed too far away
    And tomorrow seemed like eternity.

    Time is no friend to an outcast
    Whose soul only grieves for its last embrace.
    "What is one tear in an ocean so vast
    To a hopeless dreamer drifting in space?"

    Into the stormy skies he cried those words.
    For another chance - knowing it was his last.
    His ship sunk beneath the circling birds
    And onto a floating plank he clung fast.

    After years passed and many a fruitful day,
    There, resting near the surf by an ocean lee
    Stands an old tombstone worn and gray
    With these words found lost at sea:

    "From one tear is loving truth spilled
    It's the beloved's touch of forgiveness sublime,
    The resurrection of hope instilled,
    And the most worthy survivor of immortal time."

            Thank you for the poem, for the music and above all for the magnificent visuals, Spadecaller. Moving message: what is one tear in an ocean so vast, to a hopeless dreamer drifting in space?

              Profound work, Spade. This succeeds as a musical trip through the words and visuals or as poetic and pictorial accompaniment to a beautifully played piece of music. I like this type of presentation, at which you are so skilled. May your muses go on and on......

                    You meant Aivazovsky, not Aikazovsky, right Spade?

                    The third verse reminded me of The Ninth Wave
