Seemingly calm and put together.

Do not let words or façades fool you.

Look within.

Like a volcano ready to blow.

There are many heart felt wishes

waiting to be heard, acknowledged and healed.

There are many sorrows/hurts/injuries that are begging for resolution.

There is a gate keeper at the top

who has tight control.

His loud voice can be heard.

“Do not be foolish about

sharing your intimate desires out loud.

Do not become vulnerable.

Stay quiet and be strong!”

The body is trembling from the built up force of

the volcano within.

The heart is begging for relief.

A gentle voice is heard midst the mental turmoil.

“Follow your heart’s path.

Let the healing begin.

Listen to your heart’s song.”

The heart sings out louder and stronger than

 the gate keeper’s warnings.

The body feels a rejuvenating energy.

Trembling with joy and excitement,

 gasping for a new beginning.
