Dye Me Blue

Dye me blue

Maybe I'll feel the tears
roll down my cheek.....  
"Too wet and salty for my taste"
I say with disdain
Only because I've felt
how they change my soul
with their steady rain
a release of everything stored inside my heart

Don't get drenched
beneath them
Here's a joke
I like to use it as an umbrella...
Keeps me dry
when I start to cry

Dye me blue

Maybe I'll feel the tears
rolling down your cheek
"Take a cracker and some cheese"
I sound insane
Only because I've felt
how it opens a hole
that's seething with pain
maybe something small and good would fill it in a bit


Don't get drowned
beneath it all
Here's a joke
I like to use it as a boat
keeps me afloat
when I've lost all hope

"Even in laughter the heart may ache, and the end of joy may be grief."

Job 8:21 ESV
"He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, and your lips with shouting."

Raindrop Poetry

Pour out your soul to me
One drop at a time
Walls dissipate
as the liquid spills over
the ridges and bricks....

A raindrop plops
plunks 
One by one
a little bit more liquid
dissipating the walls
one drop,
a laugh
one drop,
a tear
The wall finally falls.
