*"Passion"*
This is a poem from my recently published book,
“God Loves A Riddle: A Small Collection of Poems.”
All confusing and affirming.
These poems were written during the most base need survival years in
Boulder, Colorado; while facing 20 year old PTSD flashbacks of the murder of my infant son never before surfaced.
It seems I was piecing my fragmented life together almost as quickly as the puzzle pieces were being thrown at me! Frightenly abstract.
When the heart pounds
Differentiate, not a palpitation
Yes, more like thundering hooves
In your mind you make the rounds
Flashbacks like recitations
And you realize that only,
Truly, one thing moves…..
Passion.
When the pendulum swings back
This is not yesterday’s horse
Which will you choose?
For this you are groomed without lack
Grace steadies you on the course
And the one thing you know you cannot afford to lose,
Is…..
Passion.
