I wish I could remember it
But
All I can remember is the Answer
Passion.
Because everything I do
I do with Passion.
I have always had a hard time
Answering this question.
But on this night
Without thought
I was able to answer with singular ease
Passion.
I paint with passion
I use hypnotherapy to help others because I am passionate
About empowering them
I work for the GLBT Speaker's Bureau because I am passionate
About education and the eradication of hate,
I sell pre-paid legal because
I believe in equal justice for all
I do Reiki because
I am passionate about healing the soul as well as the body
I read poetry because
I am passionate about reaching out to others
I am passionate about movies,
Because they enlighten me
I am passionate about my computer
Because it helps me express myself
As much as any paint or pen
I am passionate about my friends
I love them with every fiber of my being
Because from the depths of my soul
I feel the love of the Divine
For each one of them…
I would make love to them if we had no such boundaries
Then again,
For me
That is a poem,
a look,
A hug,
Looking into their eyes
Being in this sacred moment
My being screams my passion
For now
For me
For You.
