The Tears Of God

The moon had a yellowish tint last night

The wind blew hard as if to be heard

And the rain fell like the tears of God

Still now it falls…

The trees swayed with accepting fate

Knowing nothing can be done but to wait

For these tears to cease

For the wind to ease

My confidant disappears this morning

As he does most days among the light

But yesterday he shone himself just a little while longer

I suppose to share with me faith..

When I heard the tears of God fall last night

And the winds of frustration as his children fight

I knew to let go and embrace my love

I wept but my tears would not come

I crawled inside her like a womb

Even as I wanted to run

God lives in and through each of our lives

He feels every emotion we feel

Sometimes he takes over

And we’re able to feel him as he feels us

Last night I overflowed with love, pity, sadness and frustration

Last night, God cried for me

Today, I cry for him
