Let the Tears Fall
Matthew 24:42
Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.

The morning hot and still, I, perspiring from the heat
brought back into the house where she slept,
now silent from the restless aching pain of darker nights
holding her hand, the tears fell constantly and it was as if I knew
the time had come and was no longer delayed
let the tears fall.
These last years took her memories away
stole her heart and mind and soul from me in its theft
with hours waning in pictures of conjured memories,
images held in place would remain forever, untouched and alive,
the visionary reminder of smile and laughter of better times
let the tears fall.
Hushed and quiet, even the air did not move
every breath slowed, spaced further apart, softly expressed until...
burning in my mind how young at heart she still was
child of the sixties still laughing, loving and playing with me
now slowly slipping into the hours of midday in our last encounter
let the tears fall.
