gershon hepner - tears

Your tears you thought would fertilize
the lemon tree will flow instead
to give the desert a surprise,
renewing blossoms that aren’t dead,
because they surely are a sign
that some day you will see ahead
a rainbow that will surely shine
through salt within the tears you shed.
