Emotions in life are as the changes in wind,
Gentle breeze or strong gusts begin and then end.
Fallen leaves carried upward just to fall yet again,
From trees that may break but more often just bend.

Such are the emotions of life's ups and downs,
Breath-taking journey leading from the sky to the ground.
Emotions that grab us and twirl us wildly around,
Then let go of us suddenly, not knowing where we are bound.

Yet if we contain the emotions, our true self we will hide,
To shield the world from our feelings by keeping them inside.
But if we show our emotions and can in others confide,
The emotional freedom will open our heart ever so wide.

By letting out the emotions that describe who we are,
We take the first step to heal any emotional scar.
Our family and friends begin to seem not so far,
We join our hands and our hearts and we reach for the stars.

You touched on it perfectly Serena,
although I guess we all react differently
to our felt emotions. Men, women, children, adults...

I really liked it. Well put together
and written.

Tony.

perfect

joy has its own justice. and dreams are languid and lawless. and everything bows to beauty, when it's fierce and when it's flawless...
