As a tear

A tear-
So dear to me.
Piercing but gentle
Comforting but disturbing
A weakness? Not sure.

When the world around
Seems silent
Seems hollow
As a tear
An eerie calm wraps my eyes
As they close to give life
To a tear.

So full of potential energy
Potential to wreak havoc
Or curl into a reclusive ball
Like a threatened hedgehog.

The world is upside-down
Going backward, not forward;
The longing for being somewhere
Lingers in this nowhere man's head...
And he waits in silence,
Evaporates sublimely
As a tear.

As a tear falls
In a second, or two
The whole universe explodes
Into a transcendental plane
Leaving him suspended in the middle of nothingness
Alone, weary, lost, and in profound darkness.
The same darkness that prevails
The same train of thought that derails
When is shed a tear.
