Tears of an Empath

Tears of an Empath

Noticing the quality of tears that overflow with compassion.


TEARS OF EMPATH

There are tears that rise from the mind
Restless, tight, invisible at times
Born from clinging
A mountain of silence, emptiness, and old stories.

Waves of emotions insisting on being right
Chains that hold me hostage
Until the heart can no longer hold its weight alone.

And then there are the tears that rise from the heart
Soft, spacious, like a calm ocean
Born from love and quiet joy
A surrender into truth.

A cleansing that asks for nothing
The heart expressing itself through love
In every teardrop it releases.

Marie-annick

Whether they come from the mind or heart
They soften what has grown rigid
And with each teardrop
I return a little more
To love, to truth, to myself
I return home.
