Tears are like rain.
They can fall heavily,
But soaked by life,
They nourish from within.
They become the lubricant,
Absorbing flows of nutrients.
Minerals and memories combine.
Cry and drink and grow in sleep.
Drops at a time,
Clouds contain floods.
Grief never-ending,
Weather patterns persist.
Sad feelings overtaken,
Gusts of wind shake foundations.
So weep, little one,
For the world weeps with you.
Waves of depression break,
At the shores of my conscious awareness.
Oceanic mysteries drift,
Carried along by currents.
Flooding a desert reveals,
Sentiment’s intrinsic value.
Formerly disciplined by absence,
Returned to feel its presence.
Acute pain with decay,
Left to rot and fester.
Breathe in and choke on sunshine,
Learn to radiate like the stars.
Push it out and pull it in,
Cosmic light pulsing brightly.
Darkness swallowing the universe,
Become a beacon riding the waves.
Teardrops falling,
Whips keep chasing.
Weights attached,
Legs keep pumping.
Bruised flesh,
Ripped skin.
Fused with the burden,
Anchor in the chest.
Fluttering eyelids,
Keep out the dust.
Sandstorms brewing,
Squint through the clouds.
With a single blink,
You’ll feel the force.
My pain rains down,
Slice through this mess.
