Passion

10.19.21

What enchants your emotions with
size and strength and energy?

This is not what interests you.

This is what bits your mouth
and spurs you on.

For me it is people for which
I feel responsible for and beholden to.

Perhaps that is why I have anchored
close enough to civilization to visit
but have kept from the docks.

I defend my resources by choking my
passion – the rider that pulls my reigns.

I will do this.
I will find my own path
and go my own way.
I say this, but I have gotten myself
lost.

Passion… I ask you to lead
me to water that I might drink.
