Deep Poem About Logic vs Emotion

Beneath the Surface of Mind and Heart

A Short Emotional Poem About Feelings vs Logic

To feel is to know.
To know is to feel.
It's when the green hills of summer become covered with snow
That winter bares its teeth and becomes real.
Do I feel love before I recognize its voice
Or does my mind grasp the fall before my heart?
Does the mind first tell the eyes to become moist
Or do the raging rivers of tear drops flow
When the levees of my heart have been torn apart?
Does emotion start out as a thought or a feeling?
Nestled within the chambers of reason or of dream?
Do the bells of chaos exist in my head and ring
Or is it my breast that shrieks and screams?
To know is to feel.
To feel is to know.
Emotion and logic both wrestle 
and dance with one another,
are sometimes eye to eye, sometimes toe to toe.

-Poem Written by Justin Farley
