EMOTIONS ABOUND

…emotions
the springing power of glory
glory in joy, glory in pain
the filling fulfillment of each feeling
threatening to choke you to happy brightness
and gag the demanding spirit coursing through you.

…emotions
Running deep like a blood springing heart
Running amok like uncivilized barbarians
Running free like a warm clear spring

the singing of a startled sort of silence
the bright light behind closed eyelids
the hugging dampness pressing close to the skin

…emotions
flying high, flying far
awakening the dormant experiences
that ecstasy is sure to give
bursting forth from the dead cocoon of a worm’s body
the springing yellow of butterfly wings
forever flapping in your stomach


what, therefore does it mean…
….to feel?
Where is the sign?
The racing heart and the raging needs
The desire to inspire
From deep within the crux of YOUR being
Does it quicken your mind…
…or perhaps, hastens your thoughts
….speedy heartbeats
…….skipping feet.

Emotions abound.
