All Our Loose Feelings That Lye Deep Inside

When the sun sets over the mountain
Signaling the end of a day
Do we pretend our feelings that get put away
Just magically light up on display
For us to deal with on some far off distant day
If only life worked out that way

For us to rewrite our feelings we kept out of sight
Oh how our world would fill with so much insight
That lights up our lives so bright
To what degree should we look inside to see
How they mold and effect who we want to be

When we work through our feelings deep inside
Then we allow our minds the freedom to drift to the other side
Recharging our batteries to deal with the ones we let lye
Hoping to sort them out on this mind-opening ride
Making us wonder why we bottle them up before we tried
Creating a pit with no bottom side

That jeopardizes what allows us to harmonize
All the loose feelings we allowed to hide
Giving us clarity to float like a butterfly
Letting our feeling out without worrying why
As they come to life when they meet the sky
Creating the ability for us to foresee
What our future could be

Allowing our natural selection
To stay in touch with our mind connection
That makes it all glow in the right reflection
Leading our life to acceptable perfection
That no longer requires protection
From our feelings we just let lye

When we let our feelings go without detection
They can become toxic and risk infection
So stay in touch with your internal connection
This way all your unanswered questions
become part of life's lessons
That leaves us with the right perception
