Let it Be


My teardrops in all their glory
contain a world of salty purity.
Bathing a little pice of the earth in my unedited soul.
They are a cry to the powers beyond the sky,
of thanks or pain or a desperate plea to the heavens.
They come from the wellspring of life, the place where
spirit and humanity meet
and there a war is raged.
A release of emotion, where sometimes letting the world 
have it instead of keeping it is a refreshing secret.
It’s comforting to know that I must not keep forever those colors
glowing so brightly I cannot hold them
but by releasing them, let them live.
They live while I live,
Making room for deeper and more vibrant hues.
