Tearscape(A Villanelle)

Tears of sorrow trickle down your face
I seek to find words of comfort to say

But then you smile, full of joy and grace

Rain is falling, drops in empty space
Dark clouds overhead, a dismal day
Tears of sorrow trickle down your face

Time is always fleeting, always a race
Anxiety creeps in, a threatening way

But then you smile, full of joy and grace

Water on the windscreen, like fluid lace
One pattern of life bringing such dismay
Tears of sorrow trickle down your face

The past leaves impressions, a subtle trace
Overcast, it seems that nothing can allay
But then you smile, full of joy and grace

I kiss you, in affection and love embrace
In the distance, sun over sea, bright ray
Tears of sorrow trickle down your face
But then you smile, full of joy and grace
