Dirty Your Hands: Wisdom From The Emotional Earth

I felt a tremor
From the emotional earth
That told me "Dig Deep, you deserve to be heard"

"Harden your soft hands
and decide what you're worth
Once you do you'll find answers
Buried in your hurt"

So I'll crack the rocks
Instead of saying prayers
and dirty my nails
amidst Earthen lairs

I'll be intrepid but kind --
So kind to my neighbors
as I explore the mines
Of emotional affairs

This is an aspiration
Not a promise
For though I may falter
I take pride in being honest

I'm human; all too human
I sometimes treat people as objects
Know that as your eyes strike the stone
I feel so honored
