A Rocky Opening


Doors and windows for air and light
Deep cuts between rock walls for river’s flow
Minute pores in eyes and skin to let toxins escape
Slots cut in doors and boxes for mail, personal or business
Drawers and doors in cupboards and closets keeping order, or hiding chaos
All external and manageable.

The deep channel between heart and head can seal off and close
piled high with rocks and boulders built of grief and longing
But this seal of sadness is never complete 
as long as spirit of life, love and memory flows
with our tears through the devastation of our loss.

“Let your tears come. Let them water your soul.”
~ Eileen Mayhew
