Faces and Names

Ssssjjt… Listen to the inner you.
Calm down, listen and hear your heart beat; is there any love there?
Is there contentment, romance or peace there?
How does your heart beat?

If you are one of the average people out there you will meet indifference there.
If not; you might find things like harmony, stability and hope.
This is the silent core of you; rather, it is supposed to be that way.
It is here where imbalance is most lethal of all.

I examine this inner world most frequently to assure quality of life.
I have found that it is the paradigms of life that stagnate the soul.
There is false parameters setout for man in order to numb his spirit.
These things I seek out and eliminate; for I have decided to live a full life.

So I search through my being; removing each thing threatening the balance of my peace.
Unconventional my methods often seam to those filled with indifference.
I too was entrapped by the illusion that everything was simply what it was.
But; there is more to life than simply accepting what is offered to us to believe.

To each of these things we find within ourselves there is a name attached.
So, when we think of love; we see the picture of a person most closely related to that.
When we think of compassion, structure or dislike; a name or face pops into the head.
Strangely the same faces and names continue to show up for different things.

I have made peace with this occurrence and have attempted to attach each name to all.
I coach the person to discover their place within each emotion I found within my self.
I have been most successful with this; with only a single exclusion from the rule.
I can’t seam to find another name or face that fits as nice with love as yours.
