2015
As babes in arms we emote naturally
As children, we're taught to stuff any emotion, deemed socially unacceptable
As adults, we may choose to adventure ever more deeply (or not) into
The realm of emotional maturity, where strings of insight
Create a balance between that which we feel free to emote publicly and
That which common sense suggests filtering from
Public view in keeping with the fact that it's natural for
Different viewpoints to develop, based in that which
Each of us has experienced, personally, over our lifetimes
In short, there are times when the wisest course of action
Calls less for openness, more for compassionate discretion, not to be
Confused with emotional repression of personal needs ...
And so it comes to pass that upon sharing
A heartfelt experience with another, a mind set
Absorbed during childhood, which had once
Felt written in stone, may be prone to expand and change, over time
And as seeing is believing, I sincerely hope that
When next we meet, my sense of readiness feels free to
Offer you the string of insights, based in personal experience, that floated, intuitively
From deep within my heart, out of my mouth, and into Dino's ear after
He and I listened to the twins emote sound reason for their despair ...
