Left over
Emotions
In the sink
of life

Bits and pieces
of irritation
kernels of anger
pea size splurges
of impatience
slips through the
drain pipes
stuck in your
innermost being
where it lies and
wait patiently
to be seen again

before you know it
your pipes of life
becomes blocked
everything inside
comes to a halt
no room left
for feeling alive

your sink of life
overflows
pent up emotions
throwing their own show
you a helpless
bystander
no control

too late
the filter of
forgiveness

forgotten
in the drawer
a necessity in the
life of a
spiritual person’s
repertoire

it could have
prevented all the spilled
water on the floor

blessed be the man
who keeps no score
of anger and bitterness
in his heart
who faces each day
with a fresh new start
