On Weeping

Dawn

Conviction
Hallelujah
The blow finally came
And my heart has been rent.
The chaff is burning
And the skies outpour.
Fire
Fall down
Join my tears in gravity's dance.
My steps are shaky
But my heart is light
My body misgives
For how do I walk
When I've just learned to stand?
How do I speak
When I've just found my voice?
Broken
Blown
Burnt
But alive.
I'll scale the mountain
However long it takes
The road may wind,
But someday
I'll reach the end
I'll be pure
Till then, I will stand
I will walk.
Conviction
Hallelujah

Leave it to God to break me less than a month after I complain about not being able to cry.
