Digging for Love...

As I start to dig deep into my heart, l pass by several emotions that
are tucked in small dark spaces that my eyes can't see,

I know that they are there, but the hiding spots they have selected,
are deliberate and well thought out, I can feel them but only when they
allow me to,

I lock on to one and begin to pick and pry at it trying to jar it lose,
as I loosen it from its mold, I get a sharp pain in my heart as if I am
being stabbed and my eyes flood with tears, I step back and take a look
at it and realize, the emotion that is now free of it's crevice is
that of HATE,

Now that this beast is no longer hiding, other emotions want to also
surface and rear their ugly heads, like sadness, anger and several others,
which is bringing me to a state of complete exhaustion,

I can feel myself losing control of the situation and am terrified
that I may cause my heart to attack itself, I look around in desperation
praying I can find LOVE to come to the rescue, sure enough I see
love's beautiful light shinning through what looks like a tunnel of some sort,

I eventually make my way to it and when I do, HATE and the other negative
emotions burrow themselves back into there caves,
and a warm soothing feeling cascades throughout my body and my energy
returns immediately,

The feeling of complete freedom comes over me and my mind feels clear
as a sparkling crystal, I now have a total understanding of why, darkness is
represented by HATE and LOVE to light, they absolutely feel how they appear,
LOVE is warm and bright and HATE is dark and cold, and I also learned the difference,
in physical and mental clarity depending on what emotion is at the forefront of my thoughts,

So I beg you all, please stay positive, don't let negativity dictate your life
and never stop digging for LOVE...

Yes, you must dig deep into your soul to not only know, but to feel. Let your light shine.
A powerful write from your soul.

It's going to be a huge hole to dig, I love the effort that was put into this poem. It describes the mistakes that we've made in our life and are constantly trying to protect. Every once in a while it's okay to be selfish I think, but just because people don't agree on the same thing, doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to get along.

[Jamestown]

I completely agree with your review, thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!

I really love this piece and I enjoyed it. I think that people become negative because someone in their family does that to them and they think it's okay to do it to other. And sometimes they're just making innocent people feel the pain.

[Jamestown]

Yes that happens no doubt:( Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!

Great piece on letting go of the emotions that tear us down. A wonderful reminder of the peace and tranquility love can bring us, IF we do not allow the negative emotions to take over. Great job!

digging for that "gold" will always lead to emotional sadness. but if it's found "the best is yet to come".

[Jamestown]

Well put! Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!

We all have little chambers in our head, sometimes we put dark things in it to slumber, in other rooms there's hope and love and pretty shiny things. They have to keep watch that those other feelings don't win upon the good feelings. Interesting writing, James, made me think. :) Rudi

Thanks again and b-blessed!

[wordman]

it`s funny how we can hide emotions,and I wonder if maybe we don't find them so easy cause god knows the pain they will bring when we dig them out

[Jamestown]

Idk? You make a great point! Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!

[wordman]

you are welcome

This is a tremendous poem which fairly describes powerful visualisation techniques in combatting negativity. I admire you for posting this JT. You not only talk the talk but you also walk the walk.
I underestimated the strength of your concern for your fellow man when I criticised your condemnatory stance on writing 'dark poems' but I am convinced that you have the well-being of all at heart.
Kudos JT !
