Passionate


There’s a lot to be done in this journey called life So much so that some people just get Caught In the hustle and bustle of everyday tasks Chores Job School Work Goals Dreams Financial stability That they just Forget I don’t know how, or why, or when But somehow I have found the treasure some people spend a lifetime looking for Blindly grasping for what they want What they need in life to be happy Yet it is only an arm’s reach from their faces One may say it is, “So close, but yet so far” But this thing, what everyone wants It’s not greedy Or selfish Not even material It is special Unique Never looks alike for two people It is not a two player item The person who you love and adore most, Who knows every detail about you Still. Won’t understand your particular love Only the person who wants it can see what it looks like And still, even then, they have no idea what it looks like until they have found it But I have found mine Somewhere Deep in the dark blue of this planet I have found it. Many before me may have found theirs, but have only worshipped from afar Never fully grasping what they want most in life What will set their soul free Free to roam the earth forevermore Happily Passion. Their passion. What a person truly loves, Their art, Their dreams, Their everything. It could truly be anything Anything in this entire world. And I’ve found mine. Deep in the oceans, In rivers And lakes And ponds The wildlife who calls the water their home Where small and large all come to gather and live cohesively I could get lost forever in the rhythm of that cycle The natural tune that if it could. Would never Change.
