Falling like gentle rain
Your tears will soften you
They will moisten your soul and your heart
So that it never becomes a fortress
Or a wall of barbed wire
To permanently keep others out
At times you may fear
That letting the hurt in will kill you
It will not
Not if you surrender
While holding on to your own sense
Of deep self love
And self value
For only from this position
Can you honour soul
Only from this place
Can you allow love
And it is soul and love that allows the tears
It is soul and love that also
Forms the container
In which they are held
So that their healing elixir
Can work its magic on your heart
And soften you to truths
You mind will only comprehend
After the soul’s rain shower
Has passed
Emerging From The Dark Night
