Crying
There is no harm
In crying
It’s a useful mechanism
The mind fills with sorrow
The heart weeps
And the eyes join in
It’s an emotional condition
A thought
A memory
The smallest thing
And oceans swell
Surging tides
Overwhelm us
Washing us in despair
But crying and grief
Are not always
Such close companions
On another day
Something silly
Sillier than the nonsensical
Seeks a sunny release
And we hoot with happy laughter
We laugh and laugh
And laugh and laugh
And then we cry
And our sides ache
With hilarity
But today it’s not like that
Today the feeling is different
We stand side by side
We miss you
We cry together
And our tears
Are outpourings from the heart
And as for you
What would you say
About all this?
There’s no need for sorrow
Keep your tears…
You never know
You might need them
For a moment of hilarity
There’s no sorrow here
Not here
It’s just pure joy
Without tears
Radiant with love
Full of delight
One day you also
Will come to know it
And love it
And celebrate
Without fear
