Songs of Sorrow, Tears
Tears of sorrow are songs
That are born from the heart
And held in the chest
Then, when the mind has created space for the sorrow
They melt their way up and sing from where our mind is touched by the world
Tears of joy
Are born in the crown
Where heaven reaches down and taps us
They pour into our body, overflowing from our eyes
They are warm
I wrote this poem in high school. Over the years, I've made many rewrites and simpler versions, but this is the original and remains my favorite.
