Passion

I felt someone stare into my eyes
I heard voices very faint, very distant
They said I was lost
They said I was gone
But oh my great passion!
I knew exactly where I was
I had become my passion
The feeling of endless search had left me

I don’t know what they did with that old body of mine
But my new one was walking immense,
In and beside my passion
Finally! The hot tears were gone
The longing was gone

They said I was lost
They said I was gone
But I knew where I was…
And forever would be

Chris, when do we so stride in our lives? : ) I guess some of us never do.

Thanks for visiting Doug...this is just a piece I pulled out of my closet from younger years of yearning. But now more than ever I await the beyond:)

This is passionately expressive, Chris! Knowing without doubt where and who you are must come with an invigorating and encouraging feeling. Sounds like you are in the seventh heaven:) ~ Regards // paul

The spirituality of your words are profound and enlightening. To be at one with self is not easily achieved with the journey to 'knowing' often rife with roadblocks and detours. The last two lines feel so peaceful. An inspiring write Chis :-) blessings xxx enjoy a lovely weekend :-)
