Tears
an expression of our heart
Dew dawning on our face
Trickling transparency
from our spirit,
From depths of pain
stubbed toe, scrapped knee
Burned finger, burned heart
From belly laughter,
Depths of happiness and joy
Depths of connection to others,
From origins of fear
Flip the coin
From origins of love.

Tears the surfacing
from fathoms and the unfathomed
The outward weeping
of the inward thoughts
the drops of songs
from the soul,
Wiping cheeks
in the midst of worship

Tears...
Where do I see the most
tear types flowing?
Church!
Tears from the centre of life
intimacy together
intimacy with God
How real is that!

Starting Thoughts: I was in church listening and watching an amazing young man talk about internship in our church, between tears as he thought about his wife's involvement and the impact on lives of people. I started writing as I realised church is the place I see the most tears.
