Click to read "i am offering this poem" by jimmy santiago baca. then answer the question. what is the overall emotion expressed in the third stanza of the poem?

Here is the third stanza:

(...) Keep it, treasure this as you would

if you were lost, needing direction,

in the wilderness life becomes when mature;

and in the corner of your drawer,

tucked away like a cabin or hogan

in dense trees, come knocking,

and I will answer, give you directions,

and let you warm yourself by this fire,

rest by this fire, and make you feel safe

                        I love you, (...)

The overall emotion is safety. The poetic persona tells the loved one to keep his love "as you if you were lost, needing direction", that is, his love is to be kept as if it was the only thing able to help the loved one when nothing else could, since it could "give you directions" and "let you warm yourself by this fire".

Therefore, the stanza starts with a feeling of "lost in the jungle" that contrasts, later, with the directions and warmness given by the love of the poetic persona.
