Tears fall freely, crashing down the slopes of my cheeks,
across my chin, meeting the warm floor.
And then they disappear.
For the first time in years solace prompted my tears,
a joy unfelt in its profundity.
I feel so moved.
The sheer simplicity of its occurrence only multiplies its greatness.
No longer do I feel fear and uncertainty clawing at my mind,
confiding in my aches and pains.
I feel as complete as the day I was born.
No worries or obsessions to drive my thoughts,
only the present feeling.
I don't even fear knowing that this will not be as strong tomorrow,
or present at all.
I'm just content that I experienced it to the extent I did.
In despair I yearned for greatness and nothingness.
Now I yearn for the ability to provide my purpose.
I look inside to find that sometimes,
the simplest things provide the greatest effects.
Tonight I will sleep soundly,
knowing my soul has been nourished so healthily.
Distractions are only existent when thoughts bring them into focus.
My lens is as clear as the depth of my tears.
No filters. No distortions.
Just existence in its simplicity.
