Tears sting
Initially’
They punctuate
A moment
of healing
of grief
of connection
of deep wonder
of awakening
of recognition
of coming home
of tenderness
of gratitude

I practice
allowing,
no recoil
no avoiding
I let them
come & go
flow & release
provide
and pass
on
without asking
why??
or tripping over
why me??
