I cry and I cry
When I am happy
When I am sad
When I am hurt
When I am sharing
When I am caring;
In my prayers
In my separation
In my fullness
In my emptiness.
Tears lubricate
Love and love songs
Joy of a wedding
Sorrow of a funeral
Private pains and
Public rituals.
Tears allow
Absorbing a blow
Feeling better and
Thinking clear
For someone lost.
Tears cleanse but
Like flash flood
Leave me feeling
Stranded and shocked;
Sometimes rallying
Support and sympathy but
At times bringing
More shame than relief
More misery than company
