Tears today
A watery ceremony
for the aches and shames
of my humanity
The Contracting Ones
bracing for safety
the Mistrusting
testing for protection
The Over-Analyst
marking each step
the Lonely Ones
grasping at stories
All in service
All valiant attempts
to keep the hurt out
and the heart safe
Like building walls
made of ice
in the blazing sun
An unfair disadvantage
Tears for the exhausted ones
Fighting so hard
to follow the rules
of survival
So blinkered in their
serious devotion
that they've missed
all the angels
Dancing in circles
and outside the lines
Begging us to
come and play
By streams of fresh water
where dragonflies
are just emerging
with the warm welcome of Spring
