Tearful Answers

 

How elusive the question

How clear the answer

 

Questions of the mind

Seem unanswerable at times

Unless the heart is in alignment

 

The heart

 

What an arbiter of confusion

What a healer of the mind in crisis

Like a tree’s shadow

Keeping sun at bay

The guardian of discomfort

Yet a grandeur of nature

Ready to provide tears of joy

When appreciated for its creation

 

Such times are precious

When the intellect

Can allow the heart’s embrace

Its silent but vibrant energy speak loud and clear

 

What a world of peace and tranquility

Could be realized

If only

The heart

Was allowed to enjoin in the difficult answers

 

Hear it?

 

Everyone should discover their heartfelt

Tears of joy

I find it easier to cry tears of joy than tears of sorrow. And I guess there is a part of our brain and it's very heart that accepts such joy when it happens. But that heart in our body is a pump of muscle that signals us with pain that may bring tears to our eyes when it fails.

Glad you are experiencing tears of joy these days.

I like the way you explore the mysterious interaction between the mind and the heart that in a way complement one another, not one without the other. Joy in the mind; tears in the heart.
