Synapses and Relapses

Happiness
Sadness
how 
separate
really?

In an instant the feelings
cascade
and flow
shape shifting
from peace
to perplexed
and back
again

Allow the waterfall
of feelings
honor them
play with them
process them
let them be finger
painted across the pages
of your life
now
or they will surely
return
as dirges sung by your 
soul
at some unannounced
place on your path 

They shall become
a specter in the night to fear
until you reset the cycle
Befriend your feelings
release any future fear
now

Honor what you feel when you
feel it
Honor the process
of chemical
receptors receiving 
neurons firing...
synapses and relapses
in constant flux and fevered flow

The brain and the body 
know no calendar
pages
Honor it all
as it throws down upon you
Own the fear, the failures, the joy
and the elusive energy of white hot ecstasy

Synapses and relapses
I take you as a road companion
a co-pilot
living, lurking in the limbic system
of my life
Let me finger paint
your colors
boldly
across the canvas
blank now...
awaiting your next sitting

Happy
Sad
how
different
really?
