It seems we all have bits of kryptonite embedded within ourselves that undo us, or one close to us in order that love may flow freely. Usually it is something we don’t like or appreciate about ourselves. My kryptonite is tears. Tears are how I release powerful feeling whether it is delight, anger, panic or appreciation of beauty. I eventually came to see my tears as Holy Spirit speaking to me or at the very least trying to get my attention.
One day, not very long ago, tears were bubbling and over flowing with no obvious reason. I was willing to listen to what the tears needed to say or have me hear. This poem came from that place of vulnerability.
“Tears to You”
When I am free to share my tears
Let them fall darling one.
I am free to share all of me
Tears express my depths
even, especially, when words simply cannot
This expression of intensity
is my mantra, a longing
reminding me of my wholeness
of being which accepts all faiths
all expressions, all hopes, all colors & qualities of love
Fear not my tears
they are the symbol of my joy
They are precious gems.
being released that sadness
my return home unscathed
Be free my precious tears
thank you for your gifts
no wonder God saves each & every
wet kiss, glistening trail & pool of sadness
They are the sign:
Love Is At Work
Come my lovelies
flow from my eyes & heart
Be free to express this moment
Tears are the living water come to call.
the bitter longing for release
I am here with you
waiting, loving, holding
guiding, caring, tending
listening, watching, tasting
You.
My. Precious. One.
All I can say is this is Beautiful and touching beyond words.
Love to you Eva, Dawn
