Emotions

Emotions are powerful strings

Holding us back from growing mighty wings

When they flood the scene

The ego becomes very keen

Thoughts set the scene

If they were shoots, the mind would be green

Envy, an emotion that is hard to wean

Exercising the ego, making it fit and lean

Emotional ripples enter our dreams

Taking imagination to extremes

They are carried onto the day

Where they sequester and stay

Policing of emotions

Will bring up reactions

If emotions can be let off for a song

Curious thoughts will no longer throng
