Sensations in his body felt like waves.

Struggles between his mind and heart were visible.

Tears dropping swiftly from his eyes

avoiding the attention of others.

Sounds of drumming and rattles

took him far away with ease.

Breathe! All you have to do is breathe

whispered the voice.

Breathing

in and out.

He felt light headed and his nose was burning.

Let it go!

whispered the voice.

Suddenly his mind lost control

The volcano within erupted.

A roar of “I hate you!”

 shocked the foundation of the sanctuary.

His body was shaking

while others were holding him down.

Air was sucked out of the room

taboo words had been spoken!

Many wondered what had happened here.

Who is he hating and why?

After a while

calm returned to his body
ravaged by the storm of emotions.

Crying mildly after the big eruption.

He was trying to figure out the depth of his emotion!

Others felt relieved that it was not their eruption.

The air in the sanctuary felt light.

A heavy burden was lifted from his shoulders

and the shoulders of many!

Hate and love have a similar frequency!

If you can express one you can express its counterpart.
