Tears Together

Awash in a salty
sea of unease
welcomed
reluctantly

reaching out
with empty hands
finding
easily

Dripping eaves
of regret
mothers
sidelined
by pain
soothing

disappointment
dreams erased
clinging closely
pushed away
finding

joy overwhelming
cleansing
miracles
one small
sound
easing
a night
of phantoms

singing through...
cracked voices
rise together
giving
missing pieces
taking
broken shards
of light

hold them
so close
they burn a
white hot
memory
of 
fresh winds
blowing through
hearts
newly
cleansed
ready
to move
forward
again
