Tears Must Fall (In Honor of the Virginia Tech Tragedy)

Unlock your sorrowful tears, Let them flow Like a raging river. From the depths of your being howl Like a wolfcub who has been Abandoned by his pack. Ask for the comfort you will need in all the days to come. Keep your expression of sorrow with you as Long as you need to grieve. It will bend of it's own accord when you are finished. Allow yourself the unhindered crying your soul will require to heal. To make sense of things, grasp your spirituality as a way of sailing far far away from the utter horror of it all. Do not try to push those tears aside, as your pain and suffering is meaningful, Though it does not feel that way now... Take their photo's from your wallets and display them at will, with awesome Love and abundant pride. Take them out as need be and shower them with tears and memories. I promise you, it will validate their very existance. Know that the very waters of your faith will certainly be tested. Also know that this too shall pass. Your pain will remain forever but your faith will return tenfold. Allow the Light to pass over your darkness and believe that one day There will be healing. If you can find the strength within, you must allow for access back into Your hearts, for one day you will feel entitled to open the gates that have held you under seige. Because grief will never Leave you where it finds you...
