Emotions

Emotions are a tempest

Waking and sleeping in the belly of your soul.

Emotions are vital signs of a heart that is alive

Speaking the colors of the universe inside,

Breathing the fragrance of the garden that therein hides.

Sweetness of joy and bitterness of pain!

Emotions sing of desire burning, resounding within –

Lyrical poetry,

Dropping to alight once more,

Plunging, diminishing, swinging upwards again in swelling melody.

Emotions are the song of that love we're looking for.
