ANGER
in a box
on the wall
peeking through
a screen
LOVE
in the air
green scent
raining through
a cloud
GREED
in the closet
holding on
money's reward
shape of sword
HOPE
locked up
in a chest
bursting out to test
FAITH
on a shelf
full of dust
in a book
of trust
FEAR
reflecting
in the mirror
under your pillow
of change
WISDOM
in strings
of the bass
playing blues
on the street
SORROW
in the eye
of the clown
in a car
going in circles
with 2000 others
INNOCENCE
playing in toddlers clothes
of pink ambition
and blue self esteem
DESPERATION
spilling in the cracks
of walkways
to success
HAPPINESS
exploding
from the sun
and moon
screaming
in silence
JOY
in waves
and flames
of the deaf
and dumb
EMOTIONS
hiding inside
a carriage
labeled life
waiting to be opened
