Tränengebet
Endlich kann ich weinen gefrorene Tränen
tropfen heraus aus mir strömen und fließen
ins Freie und schwemmen die Schmerzen
zu Dir Gott du birgst sie und sammelst
die Tränen versteinerte Seele
der Kindheit als weinen verboten war
Schmerz hinter Mauern begraben
aus düsterem Schweigen
Und weine nicht ins Leere
und falle nicht ins Leere
und weiß Du hältst mich Gott
und gehst mit mir den Weg
der Tränen Schritt für Schritt
ins Leben

Old Tears
These tears I´m crying now are old tears formed decades ago
in my childhood,
when tears were forbidden.
I kept them inside, waiting for safety.
The wall that held them back was built of threats, of fear, of pain.
The water in this tears has almost dried up.
The salt has almost crystallized with age,
eaten through my soul,
purified my wounds.
Now the healing has begun, and now my tears can fall.
And now, my comforter, I cry these tears.
Now they fall freely.
Now their falling brings freedom.
And you, my comforter, are the one who gathers my tears, who
hears my pain,
who holds me gently as I sob, who dries
my face.
You are the one who guards me as I grieve.
For healing, for safety, for love, I give you thanks.
Amen.
