tears dry
like rain subsides
weather a part of nature
designed with intent
by our Creator
feelings, emotions
love and joy
despair and heartache
all part of what
deems us alive
would you trade it all in
for numbness instead?
if you already did
what could bring you back
from the breathing-dead?
perhaps a lot of it
comes from our own doing
and neglect
how many times we must
get in the way of His plans!
His plans for each
never carved in stone
I do not believe
for fate takes away free will
and free will shackles and frees
these pains must too
have a purpose
maybe more than a force
forming us
these tragedies…
who is to say
the why until
it is revealed one day
it is the blind eye
that is turned
rather than the cheek
that I think each
must explain
for admittance
through the gates
will He play back the footage
what will He deem as the highlights
will they match with what we think
we’ve done to please with our lives?
tears dry
like rain subsides
even the sky
cries sometimes
