Incandescent Tears
By R. Cary
My eyes forgiving into incandescent tears, droplets of moisture falling
Beneath my sight, below my vision my character, the background of all
These tears, who I am, who I have desired to become, the hardships lived
Upon my face rolling down the lineage of my face, moisture condensing
Till a river flows lighted, filled with translucence upon me; these lighted
Tears, my history telling a journey of deliverance discovering in these felt
Tears sprung from the river of my life, the canyons of my age as crevices
Forged into existence transposing my internal self to a self well wearing,
Lived with scars worn, effort torn, confliction absolved in moral conflict
Learned, accepted in this journey; my life of growth as courage becomes
Born, these tears of incandescence deepen into knowledge as they traverse
The landscape of my life flowing from my beating heart pulsing me to further
This shimmer of light heating my self-belief and self-recognition; I raise my eyes
As moisture falls, my chest raises as my chin rises, my life now as above my sight
End
