Teardrop
A line from my book, The Great Beyond. This is the quote that inspired this piece:
"I suppose this is why we write stories," he (Andar) began. It seemed he was speaking to encourage himself rather than speak to Voden. " We create the heroes we want; those who will change the world where we cannot. We cry so deeply for change, yet we just pass around our tears and collect them in jars, drowning the heroes inside. We expect they cannot exist. We want that good we cheer for in tales we read. No one plans to make it real. It's too farfetched for any real rational thought! But, until someone does, we all suffer. We were never meant to be saviors, only heroes: champions of brothers. We remember how we became teardrops but never look further to see the rainbow deep inside the prism." He sighed, staring blankly up, his eyes glassed over, "Just rainbows trapped in teardrops."
