Feelings, Thomas Provençal

The hidden world of feelings
and emotional release,
to understand a human
they are a vital piece.
In hereditary memory
where feelings find a fold,
they inhabit our humanity
and live like liquid gold.
It’s hard to get engrossed
in symbols on a page;
expressed all ripe with feelings
they transcend their very age.
Information gathered
at the cockpit of the soul
runs through heart and storied mind
before the body’s role.
For once it’s in the open
and joins the public mood
in precise enunciation
intoning sweet or rude,
feelings are expressed
in artistic subtle dance
to dress communication,
be understood perchance.
