The Fake Light
I See It But It Is Not Really There
Our eyes decieve us all the time
What we see is not what we get
I see the reflection of our kitchen light
On our sliding glass door
My eyes see it and believe it to be true
I know better
Because the exact same one
Is hanging over my head
The life that we experience goes so much deeper
Deep below the skin
This is where our feelings hide
They pass through my viens
As quickly as possible
Naturally without any effort
Through every inch of our body
Not just our brain and our heart
I think they are in every living cell
Our hand can not be cut off from our body
Neither can our emotions be
They travel constantly
Giving our body life
I have never read in any medical journal to prove this fact
This is something I just feel
Is it real ?
Every time I move
My body goes with me
It is not like I can leave my foot behind
Then come back for it later
Nobody talks about the real important parts about living
I don't hear one person ever say
Hey how are your emotions doing today
My emotions are at an all time high
My knees appreciate all the attention
They are sore
For years they have really done a great job
There is not a day that goes by
That my poor feet get walked on and stepped on
Yet they never complain
My neck gets stiff and tight
I try to loosen it by doing neck swirls
Because it does such a wonderful job
Holding my head up high
Moving my head round and round
It feels better
How about the emotions in my littlest pinky
It is always with me
Not as important as my thumb
It serves me well
It makes so many things I do so much easier
Then there is my stomach
With all the digestive juices
Constantly taking food in and out
Doing all the busy work
Turning food into energy
While my taste buds get the real pleasure
When my teeth hurt
They sure let me know
I cringe in pain
Until that nasty filling is gone
My whole body is a walking,talking jumbo bag of emotions
The more I think of it
The more I can express the actual joy
Boy when my back aches
It is no picnic
When my chest gets pain
I say please don't be my heart
Hopefully just a little indigestion
That disappears as soon as it came
So see how our emotions play a role
Connected to every part we see and can't see
I sit at home all quiet
Letting my body express itself
Tell me lips if you are dry
Talk to me eye lashes that keep flashing all day long
My wrists really hurt
I hope it is not carpel tunnel
I am sure after reading this
You might think I lost my marbles
Well tell me you never hit your funny bone and felt that instant pain
Twist an ankle and rub it gently
Please be o.k.
Felt a shocking foot cramp that brought you to tears
Jammed a finger
That really is painful
Bit your tongue and also felt more unpleasantness
Had an upset stomach and felt like you were turning into an instant volcano
With a pounding headache
That uncontrollable itch in the middle of your back
These are just a few examples
Of the emotions we strongly feel
Connected to all areas of our body directly
If you listen and think long enough
You can follow the dots
