Poetry

The Spectrum of Life

Anger builds in your soul until it needs to erupt

Bliss with each kiss

Confusion when something isn’t right

Disappointment when things don’t go your way

Excitement for the things to come

Fear intensifies when starting something new

Gratitude for those who help when it is needed

Happiness for others living their dreams

Indifference to the negativity from others

Joy in seeing loved ones being happy

Kindness in helping others in need

Loneliness creeps into your heart when you are alone

Melancholy, a quiet shadow in your soul

Nostalgia, memories that make you whole

Overwhelm, a flood that drowns the mind

Pride in the achievements you find

Quizzical, wondering about life’s ways

Relief when you see brighter days

Sadness, a cloud that lingers and stays

Tension, the stress of life’s maze

Uncertainty, not knowing what to do

Vulnerability, when you’re exposed and true

Worry, the fear of what’s ahead

Xenophobia, a dread that’s widespread

Yearning, a desire that never ends

Zeal, the passion that transcends

Embracing Emotions

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony

It’s ok to cry
Let all of those feelings out
We are all human
Let all the emotions flow
As you heal and grow anew.
