Tears of joy

I glide upon the sound
of your voice of Love.
During my journey
I know of moments
when joy flows
through my being so lavishly
that it can’t be confined
to my own sphere of perception.

This joy surges from the soul
like an uncontainable source of water
that grows and grows
until it becomes a river
which wrings its sinuous body
in endless longing to merge
with the fullness of the ocean.

And how do I manifest
my joy when its intensity
requires the vastness
of open space,
when it overflows and merges
with infinity?

I burst into tears of joy ...

Then I sigh in the awareness
that every single tear
has its special mission to fulfill.
It’s a little messenger of love
that gently falls into your heart.

You capsuled the gist of love and its bearing on the world stage, Margherita. Each stanza more richly written than the previous one, until finally . . .

quote:
Then I sigh in the awareness
that every single tear
has its special mission to fulfill.
It’s a little messenger of love
that gently falls into your heart.

you finish with these grand words . . .

In my mind, as I was thinking about Marge, Rebecca, and David and, then, out on paper came the word "ocean," but, then, again, I thought that "ocean" just doesn't make any sense.... and I tried to change it, but I just couldn't... and, now, here you come again with your lovely poem about "Tears of Joy" giving my thoughts clarity. Thanks so much, Margherita. As always, very inspiring to read your poetry. Enjoyed!

Margherita,

I think you have to spill tears of joy, because joy fills you so deeply that it has to have some form of escape. And when it escapes, it flows over all in its path. Thank God, I am in the way and got bathed in that joy too.

So lovely you are, my friend.

Dear Lori, thank you so much for your loving comment. Hugs back at you, luminous spirit of your own!

Dear James, thank you for telling me you enjoyed this ... Hawaii always comes to mind when I read your name and immediately beauty of Nature rises into my consciousness.

Dear Helen, thank you dear heart for commenting so kindly and for caring. Yes I am fine and I hope the same of you. Of course some days are better than others, but nothing could ever erase my awareness of being a child of eternity, forever loved and never abandoned ...

Thank you, dear Bob, oh yes there is a reason why you had to mention the ocean, as it is a perfect metaphor for the Whole of which we are all part in all of our forms of existence, that goes beyond our imagination in its infinite vastness.

Dear sweet Alison, thank you for your beautiful comment. Yes, there are those moments when we "overflow" and that is indeed a blessed moment when we can share the bliss. Of course we all are at times on the receiving side and in other moments our awareness allows us to give. Big hugs.

Thank you, dear Yann, for enjoying my outpour of joy. Have a wonderful day.

Love and hugs to all.
Margherita

This poem is such a messenger, too... and did just that. *S* Beautiful!!!
