TEARS THAT FALL

Tears that fall freely flowing
Finding now greater purpose
Gentle reminders of heart
Souls finding comfort feeling
Just when life seems to be reeling
No control over what is to be

A well that overflows with compassion
A heart that is sensitive sweet and scarred
Held gently by some and loved so true
Yet it still yearns for the comfort of you
Sensing feeling seeing being holding memory

Lessons to be learned spirits to encounter
So many fields seen ahead offering growth
Seeing so much further than ever before
Somehow the heart saves a special place
For the ones who mean so much on this ride
Staying open to all that can be not to hide

Trying to find truth from sweet sorrow
Embracing a safe harbor of bonding energy
Wide eyed at how deeply felt and sensed
Stumbling not always sure how to express
My deeply felt spirit offering tender kindness

Intense and blended surely a handful a challenge
To understand and connect with in fluidity
A spirit so full of giving trying to learn evolve
My heart in the right place a spirit that aches
Tears that fall eventually finding their true space

Fragility finds ultimate strength in acceptance
Sweet cracks and lines scars to be healed
Letting rest soft energy gather strengthen
Find those willing to hold on for awhile quietly
Such is the dance of love and letting it all be
