Emotional Flames

Sparks cascade from seemingly nowhere...

Emotions run higher than Mt. Everest...

Tempers explode like gasoline...

All so fast and so sudden- you find yourself in chaos.
You yell, trying to be louder than the noise all around you...
it doesn't work, so you get quiet and listen instead...
Soon, instead of hearing chaos you hear
fear, nervousness, anxiety, hidden anger, and uncertainty for the future.

You breathe... and calm yourself as you start to speak,
trying not to rattle around or startle anything
- like a soft ocean breeze.

The chaos fumes... but doesn't erupt

it begins to internally settle at the sound of your voice.

it quiets... eventually settling to a steady calm.

... you breathe a sigh of relief...
