Why Do You Cry (Opus)

Why is it, do you think

That you cry so often

In your dreams

I know

It is because your soul weeps

But do you know why she cries?

It is because you have hidden her away

She is fully you

In every moment you have lived

Past, present and future

The beauty, and the sadness

Are overwhelming

It will always be like this

She seeks one

Who is light to her light

Who sees with inner sight

And knows of that which is in the silence

Those who are not afraid to see

In this way are so rare

In this life

To share a moment

With such a one

To be as one flame

From two candles

Briefest glimpses

As we stumble along

But we do not know

What we carry

Our souls, our life force

Stilled not by the body’s ceasing
We do not go to nothing
Remaining

Ever warm, ever beautiful

And never to be hidden away

This – the essence of who you are

This – the secret to all things

And when you access it

Feel it for the briefest moment

You are frightened

Push the thought away

How can I tell you

Can I somehow show you

The truth that I know

I want so much for you to know it

If you could see

The world, this life

As I do

You are so beautiful

Trust me

Because I can see

Your soul

Trust

Intuition

Listen to those thoughts

That come in the quiet

When you are alone

Surprising, perhaps frightening

Listen

For your soul whispers

Do not close yourself
To heal from such a wound
Takes time
Trust me, I know

There is much to learn

And many to teach us

Not all lessons are learned

In ways we expect
