Hear Their Wisdom

Your emotions have lessons to teach
If you’d only quiet your mind and reach
Into their current, let it flow
They’re trying to help you learn and grow

Frustration, anger, sadness and grief
Are not senseless, but offer relief
If you tune your heart to discern their call
Respond, not repress, or you may fall

Ill in body, spirit and mind
When emotions trapped are consigned
To bubble suppressed, unaddressed
Their messages cannot forward progress

What wisdom do they want you to know?
What changes indicate time to grow?
What needs are unmet, where must you care?
Tune inward and compassionately hear

Be guided onto a healthier track
As emotions gently lead you back
To parts requiring care and mending
Their lessons your soul and life amending

Don’t judge the feelings that come around
But honor each one with tenderness found
In listening, understanding their cause
Then answering with wise inner laws

Adjust your actions, perspective with care
To heal the struggles laid emotionally bare
Your emotions are…
