she wept, cleansing tears
at least I hoped they were so
they seem unending
flowing liquid streams
sorrow, like a tsunami
emptying in waves
compounding her pain
fresh sadness on top of old
fossils ‘neath her heart
all words feel hollow
burdens carried, she is still
her world, it is dark
i know there is light
i’ve felt the warmth on my back
it has filled my heart
come, sit next to me
we can gaze at the sun, stars
feel joy, dream with me
Yiddish Proverb:
Gold glitters even in the mud. Gold gliterz afilu in di blote.
This is beautiful. I hope all is okay with you and this isn’t inspired by something awful. Thanks for joining us. #TriumphantTales

My Mrs, she is sad. Lost a dear loved one on New Year’s Day, and has another dear one amidst an awful and grueling, slow demise. I need to bring her to the light. Thank you for looking out for me! Mwah, and happy new year! #triumphanttales xoxo

Hi Lisa, I’m a bit lost for words to be honest…sometimes when I read something very beautiful like this I don’t really know what to say. You convey the message in the poem so clearly and without any fuss. I love how you speak about the light, I am a big believer in it myself. All I can say with certainty is that your Mrs. is very lucky to have that level of support from you #triumphanttales
