Oh tears

  Oh tears   From whence you fall?   A cloud of love that once was born   rained down such a beautiful song,   a pitter patter at the front door   and passionate thunder roars. Oh tears,   Is this what is left   of the pink cloud of love   that once filled my horizon,   which I questioned and misunderstood, even after I heard the pitter patter once more, And I knew the drops would consistently fall?   They were always gentle.   It never hailed. It never hurt.   Loved. Did his love run dry? No.   I did not grow. It’s as though the ground was hard,   the soil enriched but unyielding,   like the fig tree that Jesus cursed,   and I remembered my vow   never to fall in love again after being hurt.   Oh tears, Oh cloudless sky,   Pink fluffy clouds gone with butterflies. I blew them away,   quietly, consistently, persistently   for freedom,   for self, for love.
