^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~-Child's
^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~-Cry

^_~-I watch the cool droplets run
^_~-^_~-^_~_~- hither and Thither as They make Their silent
Journey to The miniature Torrent
^_~-^_~-^_~_~- and wonder at Their loss of Identity .
^_~-Who can Trace some microcosm of suspended dust motes in
That quietly bubbling stream of once Tear-drop shaped
^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~_~- singularities .
^_~-Men would sooner Trace their own convolute trail down
from a fading and lost past .
^_~-So I sit--and watch--and hope
^_~-That someday, when, how
--There will be
^_~-^_~_~- a Guardian
^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~- for Those Trailing
^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~- and soon lost
^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~-^_~- Silent Entities
