Tear duct

Strong: that is all I can be, that is what I must be. 
Not just for me but for the tribe. 
Strong. 
When the words cut deep and the ties are severed. 
Strong. 
When the full moon rises and the tide is high. 
Emotions melt and strong is a fading memory. 
When everything I fear feeling settles at the top because the rope tying the concrete slab of a heart wore out. 
Strong. 
Pushing through the clouded vision and the tingling sensation beaming through the fingertips. 
Strong. 
When strength fails me, who will rise and be strong for me? 
Who?

After the earthquake, I smile. I might fall a little or maybe a lot but I get up.  I get up because I realize that there is nothing down there for me to do. Down was not home; it was uncomfortable. Poco a poco with a spoon for a shovel and faith so big, Mount Everest trembles, I crawl out. Residue lingers but making the best of the moment is what counts. That's all that matters. When dry runs and inconvenient pit falls run amok.  The moment counts.  All the moments count.

I am the Sun

I am the sun.  I rise, strong I stand,  stronger  with a purpose to shine.  I am the sun.  I set subtly and with power leaving behind a day’s worth of pain. A day’s worth of joy. A day worth remembering for a lifetime.  I am the sun.
