                   "Passion"

It is the fire that burns within you

The desire, the thirst, the hunger

     for the dream that got away

The persistence, the endurance, the longing

    while you chase the elusive rainbow…

 

Running! Running! Running!

Towards the sun that blinds you

Capturing! Capturing! Capturing!

     a dark cloud along the way

One that offers shelter

     from every burning ray

It is the darkness, it is the light

It is every season you befriend

That carries your heart and soul;

     an uncertain means to a perfect end

 

Passion! Passion! Passion!

It keeps you alive inside

It is an extension of your being

Where you exist with mounds of pride

It keeps you moving on

When all else stifles you

Breathless, weary, weak and cold

You wake to a world anew

 

Once again it starts all over

Like a bird in flight, you soar

Strong, determined, reaching out

     for the dream you so gloriously adore

You can see it, you can taste it

It will haunt you forevermore

That ghost will lead you

     down a path,

          to the tune of shock and awe!

 

You will follow blindly

Empowered by the essence

     of whom you are

Passion! Passion! Passion!

You will journey long and far

Clinging to its wings and coattails

Holding on for dear life

Through hurricanes and wicked storms

Through winds that cut you like a knife

 

You will never waver

You will never let go

Passion! Passion! Passion!

You will reap what you sow

Emboldened by that fire within

You will grin because you know

Passions never wilt! Passions never lie!

Sheltered within its bosom

Passions never die!

 

Passion is your constant

That’s all you need to know

As you Follow! Follow! Follow!

Possessed by its afterglow

That light will guide your every step

Always your friend; never your foe

Passion! Passion! Passion!

May its aura overflow

While your cup runneth over

With a passion that begs to grow!
