I cried a single tear

That trickled to a stream

The stream became a river

A tributary of dreams

The river became a sea

That sang a shanty bold

The sea became an ocean

That swept me from its hold

The ocean turned to sand

Sifting through my soul

The sand turned into land

Where I dug a jagged hole

The hole became a grave

Where I lay to watch the sky

My grave became a tree

Whose branches waved goodbye

The branches flourished leaves

Which caught the morning dew

And dripped a single tear

To start a stream anew
