Jesus Weeps Real Tears
He is not above us, he beside us

Jesus Weeps Real Tears
Jesus Weeps Real Tears
not fake.
he hurts for us each day
He does not pose for the paintings.
He does not glide on air.
He does not blink away a tear
for dramatic flair.
He weeps.
At tombs, at tables,
in gardens where friends fall asleep
while He remains steadfast.
He is here among us—
fully, wholly,
and His tears are real.
Not staged.
Not poetic.
Salt and water, the heavens mix
that stings the eyes and cracks the voice.
He weeps for the girl not waking.
For the boy no one hugs.
For the addict in the alley,
for the woman they mock behind her back.
For a world that keeps shouting,
and will not listen.
He weeps because they do not believe
that love could wear skin,
could sweat and stumble,
could cry for them,
not from a throne
from a place where spit and nails are real.
Jesus weeps real tears,
not the kind that glisten for the crowd.
Not metaphors. Not myths.
Tears like ours real and pain
For ush3criesto fix us.
He wants to make us whole again.

I've been writing poetry since the age of fourteen. With pen in hand, I wander through realms unseen. The pen holds power; ink reveals hidden thoughts. A poet may speak truth or weave a tale. You decide. Let pen and ink capture your mind❤️

Inspiring and well written.
Jesus loves you, yes, he does. Jesus loves us, yes, he does. For the Bible tells me so. Jesus wept. For us.
Fabulous
