Save

God, who never gives us more than we can bear…will always make a way for our over-whelmed souls to find relief. Amen. And we press-on.

He said… he awoke…to find… Tears… streaming… his face and wondered, but even more than that… yearned…to recall the dream? the vision…? that place… Where his… well-built, secure… impenetrable …dam which received and harnessed the compiled agony…of *all…* digested pains… *all* his life… had begun to …fissure. Tears… from sleeping eyes…ran… free…of constraint billowing forth from pent-up…sores… unhampered by objections escaping from, alas…a man! Waters… which only once before in his entire living so long ago yet, while awake …had he bore. And… he pressed to remember the…local not consciously…no, never consciously…! but to...imagine...that unconscious moment’s ember When God… in His Great Mercy…reached releasing the grievous accumulation of cruel, oppressive, stagnated… waves … ere…that which his soul could no longer bear …Tears Ps 126:5, Ps 56:8 copyright;jmsbell 9/03/22

I was glad you reminded me that tears are prayers too, for sometimes they are the best prayers we are capable of, dear Joyce. Your poetry is always strengthening to say the least, thank you for this blessing.

I don't cry much. But there's one time that stands out.

I was lying in a hospital bed and couldn't move anything from my neck down. But I was alive! Outside in the hallway, a group came by where I couldn't see them, and sang some Christmas carols. As I listened to all of those great songs that I could sing along with, I suddenly became overwhelmed with happiness that I was still alive. My tears flowed like they never had before.

At that point, my sister's best friend came through the door. She saw me crying and was about to turn and leave thinking I was upset. Somehow, I persuaded her to stay. We talked briefly. I don't recall ever talking to her again.

Tears are the balm for the weary soul. As Queen Elizabeth once profoundly said: Grief is the price we pay for love."
