Weep Show



When weeping won’t wane,
And a whine turns to wail,
When pouring one’s heart plain
Transforms to travail,

A strange sort of break may
Occur in the soul –
The floodgates of faith, they
Do one over-bowl.

Vast mountains of misery
Move just a smidge;
Forgiveness calms waters
Gone under the bridge.

‘Tis then that one’s weeping,
No mere sorrow show,
May move on to reaping
To best what we sow.
