Vulnerable

The frail drops fall to the ground
  in mourning again
What does it show us though
  only our weakness
Or does it show us our strength
  to be able to wrap up
In grieving tears the ones who
  are vulnerable
To shed them with them, to speak
  what is unspeakable
Because in our true vulnerability
  we are strong, truly
There is a force which can survive
  there is healing there
In shedding our tears together
  in embracing it all
Because life lived is no safe harbor
  and we can't make it so
By mighty fists of rage it is only
  in our embracing
All the ragged edges of pain
  where we find the core
