there is room

there is room for your mourning
and room for your dancing
morning comes gray with rain
asking its old questions of the heart
joy waits quietly inside the ache
sometimes the rain must finish speaking
before the sun is allowed its say
i am learning to dance where i stand
not against the drops, but with them
both ways of being are holy

there’s room for both.

for ache and for joy.

for the rain and the sun.

you don’t have to choose one.

you’re allowed to feel it all.
