Let me know your sorrow
Let me taste your tears
Let me feel trauma
And grief
In the tartness of your sadness
Let me hold your heart for you
I know its heavy
I’ll be here for you
While you mourn

Softened Stings
The stings have softened
The bite has eased
The venom has faded
Sirens of pain
Have quieted
I float unbridled
Easily standing on my feet
I rise a little higher
Than my purview
My legs no longer buckle
Peace is a godsend
Like a blown kiss in the wind
Blessings lift our burdens
The weightlessness of release
Is a gift
Breathing comes easy
With unobstructed airways
Distress dissolves
To free the flow
Of life
Unsettled hearts
Breathe scorched breaths
Feel the sting of their distress
Hell blazes inside of
Unsettled hearts
Solemn tearful sobs
See them glow with grief
Torrents fall through these
Overflowing eyes
Muted bloated mouth
Hear it brim with betrayal
Cemented at the roots of
An unyielding jaw
Calm
I choose calm
Like still waters
Almost a sheen of glass
Reflecting the vastness above
I choose calm
Like the kindest breeze
Carrying clouds
Along kindred blue skies
I choose calm
Like the tempered sun
In the innocence of mornings
And embracing sunsets
I choose calm
Like a lovers voice
Cooing a thousand comforts
Shielding you from fear
I choose calm
Like the ease of the storm
The shade from burning sun
The water to a fire
I choose calm
