When they flow
So too the soul.
Released as a dam
Like shackles unbound
Free to be pain
Free to be joy
Free to be felt
When they flood
So too the heart.
Sprung as a spring
Like doors unlocked
No longer kept
No longer held
No longer tense.
And when they burst forth
So too the man.
Shed as a layer
Like unbuckled restraint
Open to be healed
Open to be filled
Open to be whole.
So come and be wept
You thoughts of gladness
Wounds of sadness.
Be free and let be.
Release
And be held.
