Sorrow

Sorrow wraps around me, tears flowing gently like spring rains, my cries at times roaring like thunder in the storm. My heart is like this soggy earth, drenched in tears and sadness. My head hurts from the onslaught of sorrow’s storms. I wait for the pain to pass, wondering if it ever will. My tears overflow like water released from a dam. They seem to spring forth without warning, an endless flow, like rain that waters the earth.

As Spring approaches, shrugging off Winter’s hold, I wonder if my shroud of sorrow will lessen as I spring forth to a new world without my beloved. So many questions, so much painful sadness.

I wrote a song once that talked about tears lingering at nightfall but by dawn joy comes. I’m waiting for that joy.

My hope is in the Lord who made heaven and earth and gave His only Son to die that I might have forgiveness and dwell with Him forever.

And yet, my tears still flow.
