Does The Swan Know Where Sorrows Go

I own this sorrow that came through me

now silent tears roll down the cheeks of me

the times I feel but do not see

the ways that are indeed in me

so in this night

with full moon light behind the clouds

I listen deeply as questions come

I sense my feeling as this night is long

it is the way to walk upon

and every question that sits in me 

brings an answer, I then can see,

so every tear that weeps through me

keeps us closer to our healing

helps me help us all 

into the clearing. 

 

Let us then live with peace,

let us then live in peace.

 

Let me just let things flow

deep inside

I already know.

Healing sorrow is a way 

to bring tomorrow to this day.

 

Hope floats along as does Our Swan

 

Breathing slowly leads me to

the gatherings I have with you

and knowing you and knowing me

feeling you is how I see.

 

Written 3.16am, October 6, 2025

With my deepest love for you

For my Dad and my Mum and myself 

For our collective traumas and treasures

For our silent sorrows

For our ever-courageous hearts

For our blessed grace, mercy and peace
