Release

Why do we cry

When what we love is taken

Because this is the way our soul squeezes out feelings

Is the way our heart aches

For the loss of what will no longer

Bring us comfort and joy

There it is

The simple fact

She is gone

And so these tears fall

And yet somewhere

Close by

In her heart she may be longing

For these all of these tears of our to pass

For us to open to the acceptance

That this is a time of

New birth

Release

And transformation

So even though

It hurt me to hear you say

Seven years ago

She would not want me to be sad

I was

For she was so bright

A being of fire and beauty

Cut down in her prime

All of these years later I understand

What you meant

And yet my feelings are for me

And so I must work through them

Until over time

They release their powerful grip

Upon my soul

Upon my life

Upon my heart
