Tears Must Fall} In honor of the Virginia Tech tragedy

Unlock your sorrowful tears
let them flow like a raging river
From the depths of your being
howl like a wolfcub who has been
Abandoned by his pack

Ask for the comfort you will
need in all the days to come
Keep that expression of sorrow
with you as long as you need to grieve

It will bend of it’s own
accord when you are finished
Allow yourself the unhindered crying
your soul will require to heal

To make sense of things grasp your
spirituality as a way of sailing
far far away from the utter
horror of it all

Do not try to push those tears aside
as your pain and suffering is meaningful
Though it does not feel that way now

Take those photo’s from your wallets
and display them at will with
awesome love and abundant pride
Take them out as need be
and shower them with tears and memories

I promise you it will validate
their very existance
Know that the very waters of your
faithfulness will certainly be tested

Also know that this too shall pass
Your pain will remain forever but
your faith will return tenfold

Allow the light to pass over your
darkness and believe that one day
There will be healing

If you can find the strength within
you must allow for access back into
Your hearts, for one day you will
feel entitled to open the gates that
have held you under seige

        
Because grief will never leave you
where it finds you…
