the issue
isn’t that you’ve cried
so…….. so ……… long
that you’ve run out
of tissues
the issue
……………….is
in forgetting
it’s good for the soul
so weep
a little longer
for it won’t
weaken the spirit
it’s a rinsing
of the residue
that blocks
your way to contentment
so weep
just
a little longer
till
the weight that
seemed unbearable
is left
in a soaked tissue
on the floor
the sniffling
will stop
when you
look around
and embrace
all the beauty
that the universe
has left
at your feet
look around
and …………….breathe
breathe
in 3’s
one to clear your mind
once to clear your heart
once to clear your soul
clear your core
of all the anxieties
that were stored
now…………… breathe
breathe
in 3’s
one to clear your mind
once to clear your heart
once to clear your soul
all the tears
are gone
left in tissues
……………. on the floor
