Tears

Cry those tears!
Shed them with childlike intensity.
Allow them to gather
like stormy clouds
in the forefront of your mind.
Let them flood your sorrow.
Open up and be a recipient
for their healing power.

Cry those tears!
Stand tall and lean onto
this wall of regeneration.
Resist the pressure
of this waterfall,
do not ask why
your heart already knows.
Just cry … cry!

Then shake the tears
off your cheeks,
let them settle
on the stings of life
like morning dew.
Then watch the sun
taking care.

Through crystal clear eyes
you perceive the world as new.
Dare to cry those tears!
With childlike rapidity
your smile will flash again
in pure rainbow brilliance,
restoring your serenity.

Margherita,Deeply enjoyed this one.
Thank you for your permission to shed a few tears. I think those of us who are labled "strong" hold back too often and put on a happy face. sincerely, "late"

Hello Margherita ~ this is a wonderful piece of writing. So many of us need permission to cry and let it all out. Thank you for allowing me to do that this bright morning!!
