From My Tears, and My Sun

Stumbling down the road of this

life thing we

got going

on

The road is winding, smooth, rocky

 Often so very labored, so

long

Roads become blocked with the

debris of weather

vicious

Or, they may be lush and full 

A journey's trail sweet and

ripe, exotic and so

delicious

 

Walk this road or take another

The constant chatter

inside our

rambling, raging heads

We may walk beside death

and destruction

or in partnership with an alive

and vibrant

deep green engaging

river bed

 

My roads have led me to pain

and passion

To laughter and tears

To loss and discovery so amazing

it took my breath away

I have filled river beds with my

salty saviors

I have been the very sun

that dried them all

From my tears and my sun sprang

 flowered

trails to savor

 

From the rain of our tears....

as hurricanes

Is a clearing of the pain that

births them

And the peace that

sweetly came

In the rebuild after the storms

of epic toll

so cold

This, I have learned

Somewhere along the road
