Tears


Tears
Drip pain
A long time
Then suddenly
They stop in a daze
Then bring about cleansing
In time your strength is renewed
It happens when you are willing
To feel the truth of what is inside
Courage to release, not deny or hide

The last line is pure truth, methinks. Once released, those tears transform into droplets of joy. :) gw
