Emotional Responses

Emotional Response

My head pounds, my pulse races
My memory is too effective.
The words float through my mind,
Still echoing with shock.
Pain is the second friend of shock, along
with Anger. What are my options?
At first, my reaction is to react with anger.
My heart says no. My soul appears again as a
friend who is always welcome. Sage advise appears,
or at lease I believe so.
When action appears from the heart, not the head,
maybe ego is not in the mix.
But what of the wind singing through my
cracked heart. How do I make this
right, livable, or balanced in my life?
Forgive and try and forget?
Does my being cope and accept actions
I have no control over?
Are Love and Forgiveness the proper
response? Anger and hatred have no home in
side of a loving heart and soul.
Is this my answer, my sign of action or inaction?
Yes, I can attempt to accept this avenue of action.
Is the balance of my heart and soul more
important that revenge through ego?
My heart whispers yes. I have stepped over one
more hole in the road without falling in.
If I can step over the Hate and Fear,
maybe I can journey on with a little
more Love in my Heart not Hate.
