Moonbee Canady Poet Light Verse

' We Must Have Passions ... '

We Must Have Passions
Everything Said…
We Must Have Passions
… Or We Are Already Dead …

We Must Feel Strong
We Must Truly Care
Sometimes, We Are Wrong
… This Too, We Bear

But, We Must Have Passions
Deep and Pure
We Must Have Passions
They Defeat Fear …

… and Failure and Stilted,
-Half-Hearted-Hope
We Can Face Jilted
if Passion, Still Scopes …

 Just Make Sure Your Passions
Doesn’t Leave Milk-Spilt
then, The Morning-After-Reaction
is Usually – Guilt

… Yet, We All Stand-Accused:  as Voyeur,
Warrior (or) Destroyer ( Don’t Scoff )
Just Really Know ‘ The Lawyer ‘   - - - - - - - - Isa. 9:  6
… Who Can Get You Off !

Lord… Help Me Pick My Passions …

Carolyn Devonshire September 21, 2009 at 5:18 PM How True, Moonbee! Without passions, we live with no dreams, no hope, no happiness. Love the way you ended with the "lawyer" joke! Great work! Love, Carolyn

Moonbee Canady September 21, 2009 at 5:14 PM Thank You Sara... I Learned Something Today... I was Thinking of the Italian Word Pastiglia, which means Casting/Molding/Clay or something or other like that... But I did find your other Poem by the word you used... Again... Thanks - Steel Sharpens Steel MoonBee

Sara Kendrick September 21, 2009 at 4:23 PM Don't we all need a good honest passion. Nicely done. Keep writing. Sara P.S. Patsiliga is an Indian word that means pigeon roosting place. There are creeks not too far from where I live that are called that. American Creek Indians lived close to creeks and the land was divide amongst them using creeks as land lines.
