Every tear drop That streams down my face, Speaks a hidden story Of joy and of pain. A complicated mingling of truth, Love and loss, hope and griet. In endless perpetual streams Flowing freely with fervor Unashamed in their purpose. As a river seeks out the ocean, These droplets flow steadily towards absolution. An overflow of emotion From this deeply sensitive heart. My eyes empty time and again... Yet I know this is different. Fearing not the repetitive surge I rise and fall on these strong tides, For I know I'm safe, I'm not lost anymore. As these intense feelings are felt, Words eventually disappear. My mind is embraced by silence and my heart rests in peace.
