Tipped out
My eyes sting with weeping
body shaken with emotion
from the heavy hand of God on me
Lord save me from me!
Tip me out completely into you
pattern me after your ways of doing things
constant outpouring
and refilling
tears and dancing
lightness of feet
and tender of touch
you walk the weeping way
utterly free from worry
devoid of anxiety
holding these paradoxes
of trust and struggle
perfectly balanced
light as air
strong as stone
and me and my tears
are scooped up
shaken kindly
wrapped around
turned around
patted on the back
and sent home again
Was I expecting something else?
