Tears

it is a constant warring threat
this urge that chokes my throat
that pushes through my defenses
that comes from my hearts hollow…
that creeps from the corners
that escapes through the cracks
that accosts the fiber of my being
and I swallow and I swallow and I swallow…

    don’t swallow…....... exhale and release.

    Oh I end up doing that…..and yet the threat is still present quite often…I reckon they are tears that need to be cried. Thank you Dave..:)

    LoraMae, I think sometimes we swallow in an attempt to be seen as being strong don’t we, yet it’s in our weakness we find His perfection!

  • loramae replied

    No truer words Martin…every time that urge passes me…it does take me to Him in some form of prayer or thought…Thanks for your thoughts!
