Digging for Love...

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...
