Tears
Location
Secretions of saline
Extensions of the soul
Keeping clear of foreign bodies
Losing them to keep you whole.
Funny how that’s their purpose, but letting one go is like losing part of your soul.
But without tears, the torrent
tearing of my heart would happen all too frequent,
the situation then becomes tears? Or tears?
Watch your soul deplete, to dwindle –
or your heart to distress, snatched violently & pulled apart,
only to be left ragged…
Left in tatters as a cloth trapped in a river bed, enshrined by grief, sorrow.
Drowned by tears.
God gets scared too, sometimes.
Guess that’s why I feel at peace whenever it rains.
Rain drops are God’s teardrops.
Monsoons are just god’s way of shedding his tears, sharing his fears.
Saying, “its okay. We’ll weather the storm together.”
And I accept.
Acknowledging, wholeheartedly, that shedding painful tears
because of him is never a possibility.
He accepts my tears, I indulge in his.
My soul is one, no longer depleted.
No longer tearing while tearing.
