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
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 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 worn
Lived, with scars worn, effort torn, confliction absolved into moral conflict
Learned, accepted in this journey, my life of growth courage becomes born
As 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 above my sight
End
