Tears

If tears could only wash away grief...

It's not that I fear the pain,
I'm not always sure how to use it.
How to sow all the love
that turned into grief,
so that it will be love given out again?

All of this water
from parched places.
If You put them in a bottle
it would feel less wasteful:

Maybe this is why one
stoops to wash Your feet with tears.
The weight of "We don't know;"
we only know to come to you with them.

Isaiah 25:8 King James Version (KJV)

⁸ He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
