Emoting Life’s Anxiety

Emotions are like the weather,
often unpredictable,
in extremes and often triggered by
low pressure systems,
when rain we might,
the tears falling is misery’s plight,
a broken heart, a maudlin malaise,
let the river flow
let cringe-worthy thoughts pervade,
as we release our angst
and all those pent up feelings,
those thankless squirming moods
we cannot contain,
without a little rain.

And anger, like a storm,
flashes of light and sworn
revenge and blame,
can take us to violent refrains of expression,
our hearts aching, our minds transcending
the calm of introspection
that has kept us on the straight and narrow,
and now wanting in its change of direction,
rage a flame of passion,
a simple change of perception,
to see how lost we can be,
when we lose our very minds
to inflated circumstances
of moral dilemmas and rejection.

Then the sweet compassion of a mother,
the understanding of nurture
can warm our very hearts,
as we give freely, our hearts open,
kindness and love the scope of living,
each moment shared a privilege,
each feeling imbued a sacred belief,
that love conquers all,
and romantic love our souls delight,
full blue moons and promises,
bring our souls together
in a melding two to one,
as emotions lead the way,
to human understanding.
