Poetry in E-Motions
Poetry in emotions can be discovered and an excavated gem. Just like music and new behavioral rituals. There is an adage that says that “in all of us there is a bit of a poet, musician, and insanity.” When we FEEL strongly we often seek expressions of the energy. If we use this energy creatively we can even capture and immortalize a moment. Thus in all our feelings we can find a poem, lyrics to music or behavioral rituals that may look insane to some individuals (such as having a party by the tomb of the deceased) that not only help us emote creatively but keep us sane. Sometimes “abnormal” in an abnormal situation is normal. Have you ever caught yourself in any of these expressions?
Moving the energy of feelings so that we do not get stuck in it is healthy and the goal of healing.
This is another exercise for creative expression of feelings, whether they be sad, happy or of any color of the rainbow.
Exercise: Think of things that remind you of something or someone that nudges your heart in a downward spin or if you prefer an upward spin of emotions such as loss, pain or joy. List the things. Use the poem below of as an example of how these things can all be triggers for these feelings. Create one in a similar style with the things that are unique to what you jotted down. In the end celebrate what you have created with the power of words and how you have captured and memorialized something or someone special to you.
IT’S YOU I MISS
It’s the phone call I’ll never get
And the number I’ll never dial
The fresh cut rose from your garden I will never smell
The chocolates we won’t taste and share
Nor the toasts we’d make over wine we’d sip
It’s the books we’d read and discuss at length
And the music we danced and sang to all night
The meals we’d prepare to dine without hurry
And the stars in the sky we’d count for hours
The strolls by the lake we would often make
And the country drives we’d often take
It’s the peaceful sunsets we’d contemplate
And the morning songbirds we’d awaken to
It’s your touch
Your taste
Your smell
Your gentleness
Your caress
Your kisses
Your embraces
Your voice
Your caring
Your presence
It’s you… I miss
