 Passion for Life

After 56 years of floating along taking whatever is,
I realize that this lifestyle of acceptance sometimes kills.
Love and passion for the colorful fruits that life has,
Sometimes are missed by my blindness in my walk.
Without fullness bubbling over from deep in my soul
I walk quietly down my path to a destiny ahead.

But I ask, is this my full and complete destiny?
Or is it some reserved acceptance in order not to rock the boat?
Am I allowing the precious sands of time to slip through my fingers?

After 56 years of floating along without reaching for the brass ring.
I question my soul today, seeking the vibrancy of true life!
With excited anticipation of what tomorrow will bring,
As a child, now walking with a fullness of spirit.
Eagerly looking about, hungrily devouring the delights.
Sucking the juices from the fruit that I pick from the tree of life.
