Poetry Thursday: An Open Window

Here’s my entry for the final Poetry Thursday. This week prompt is “an open window.”

There is a boundary
to our emotions
for if left unchecked
won’t it overwhelm us
completely?
Who wouldn’t want to be engulfed
in love,
the euphoria
of the tenderness, the
sensation of desires
awakened
energizing, stimulating
arousing?
For all of the emotions
imprisoned within us,
the pent up anger
the repressed hatred
the tainted jealousy
the blinding faith
the guiding hope
all are
an open window
to your inner self…
your soul.
Look then
into your soul
and find
your true form.
Look then
not for perfection, but
learn to attained
a balance
a beloved form.

   “Look then
   into your soul
   and find
   your true form.”

   I agree but how many of us do that?

   balance is so often over looked as a bringer of joy… but it is indeed the great content-er

   Insightful. I could relate as I am in the process of finding my true form.

   Balance is not so easy. Your words are thought provoking and memory jogging.

   I l;ive your poem every day, I think, trying to feel what I feel as a way to connect with Self.

    I like how you’ve set your point on those last two lines.
