The Weight of Salt and Light
Tears are not fractures in the face,
they are rivers remembering their source.
They fall not because something broke,
but because something refused to turn to stone.
In the chest, pressure builds like weather,
clouds thick with all the words unspoken.
Rain is not the sky surrendering—
it is the sky choosing release.
I have seen steel rust from silence,
seen mountains split by patient water.
What endures is not what never bends,
but what bends and still remains.
Each tear carries a history of standing,
of holding the door against the storm
long enough to know
when it is finally safe to open it.
Salt marks the proof of survival.
It says: I felt this fully
and did not disappear.
So let the eyes shine,
let the body speak in its oldest language.
Crying is not the absence of strength—
it is strength,
finding its way out.
