A Very Strong Emotion
Which I try to keep secret.
Is it dangerous?
Is it over-reactive?
It is unexpected, unwanted, and feared.
Its arrival makes me unsure.
So I unsuccessfully try to still the emotion
and wonder if that is wise.
I waiver and fear
as it begins
to look
like anger
and expresses itself
unbidden
on my lips and in my gestures.
I realize I must speak of my painful jealousy.
I receive the
necessary,
sincere reassurance
through the un-judging wisdom
and loyalty of my Love
who recognizes my need
and
mends my confidence
with his healing presence.
