I Weep. I Weep For The Men

I weep. I weep for the men

who until then

never asked for help or looked within.

For the way ahead

may be dark indeed

and I hope with all my heart

that the light streams

and there are ways

to express the depths,

to clear the haze.

May nurturing come

and nourishment be,

may they have the love

they surely need

and when will they call for help

to uncover themselves and shine their light

into the darkness of ‘the dark night

of the soul’ who longs in a plaintive way

for the affection, encouragement

and someone who’ll say

‘Come near and rest

you have tried your best’.

You dear friend need to change,

to know your own true ways,

to walk away from hazy days.

Let you be the one

healing to the core

before you carry any more

loads of burdens you do not need

and now is the present,

with a call for freedom ringing clear

take this year

to meet yourself

and shake your life courageously

to bring yourself to being free.

Free to feel.

Free to heal.

Let all the past dissolve away.

Call the new to heal you

Now.

No time to wait or hesitate.

Come to yourself.

Honor yourself.

Shine your light now.
