passion, I think, is a young thing
something that comes to you
when you don't know any better
to deny it and send it on through

passion is something you live for
breathe it as it sits on your mind, wet
it makes you come through jeans, and forget
where it was you put your cigarette

and when you grow older, you look back
and think how you lived and breathed
day after day for this passion you had
that is gone now but you're not bereaved
it's a natural thing that happens
glory fades at the top of the wall
after challenge is met, it gets old
and soon it will be too cold
to be moving very fast at all.
