Cry Baby
Looking past the masks you wear
I can see You there in your eyes
Peering through your windows in can see your Soul
I feel your fear
I sense the fragrance of your envy
I can taste the dark sadness of you
Willing, wanting to be yet, will not
Comical, cartooned, contortions turned tragic
Captured in Culture’s cul-de-sac
Creativity consumed, consecrated to the warped reflection
Callous, constrained, yet secret tears fall down the well
Youth harbors Eternity’s now stirring seed
Weeping moistens the protective layers of self
Masks hide and safeguard the Soul’s germination
But the seed must die in order to live
Cry Baby is not your name
It is the way you seek
Cry Baby, suffer
Feel the pain of your disloyalty to You
Surely the seed fears the transformation
The pain of the outer shell splitting
Now vulnerable, alive, alone
Feel the light there in the darkness and reach for the sun
Be still baby, just look in my eyes
I can see you there, I see your beautiful Soul
Let go all that is not You, turn inward to see
The amazing You, you were created to be
I think you took it one step further in your thinking this time with the tears providing the moisture. Don’t recall that from any of the other times you’ve talked or written in this manner. Adds a much needed extra layer… Really nice. 🙂
Course it may have been there and I just missed it…
Its in some stuff but I can’t think of which ones right off
Just the idea of grief and tears watering the ground for new growth
