Tears

Have you cried lately

And allowed the tears

To stream by

It feels there is

A pressure

In the chest

Only tears can let fly

It is not a pain of grief

Nor one of loss

It is the facing of the

Unexpected

That brought forth

Tears, unexpected

A pleasant surprise

A need fulfilled

A wish granted

A glimmer of hope

Against all odds

From unexpected quarters

Unexpected

Memory does its bit

Digs out

Resonant experiences

The event takes

A Grand scale

Behold

The hand of God

At work

Mysterium magnum

Everywhere

Meaning making begins

Cultural narratives kick in

To God be the glory

Hare Rama Hare Krishna

Subhan’allah

Maybe even

Gan Xie Zhu

Slava bogu

Kyrie eleison

The tears keep streaming

Gently down the cheeks
