Tears flow like water
Pouring over rapids
Rough and raging
Briefly slowing until
They hit the rocks again
Determined to wear down
All that lies beneath
Like a cascading waterfall
Tumbling down into despair
They disappear….
Merely a drop
In the sea of sorrow

There’s a stillness, a calm, surrounding night
In the air, you can smell, the scent of raindrops
Not yet formed, lingering quietly nearby
Little by little, the skies open, into silent tears
Shedding the pain, of a million crying spirits
Mourning, for the ones, who cannot mourn
Embracing the sorrow, as if it was their own
Gently washing away, the sins of the Earth
Silently cleansing each eternal soul
Then vanishing….as if the clouds were never

Dry your tears, baby girl, and reach up to the sky
God will be your guiding light, set your spirits high
Speak to Him today, let Him take away your sorrows
Then speak to Him again, and all of your tomorrows
Do not worry, baby girl, everything’s been planned
Let the sadness disappear, into God’s almighty hands
Smile, my baby girl, let no more tears be shed
Just look up to Heaven, let His light shine through, instead

Let me melt away the pain
That lingers on my skin
Let me release the sorrow
I hold, so deeply, within
Inches of this body writhes
As I try to hold it all together
But fate has dealt a mighty blow
And this life, I have to weather
Agony has set its pace, still
I continue, with all my might
To chase away the darkness
Choosing only to see the light

Dank, dismal, dark days
Dreaded and disregardful
Dreary by design
