Ignite my passion so I'll see its glow,
Lighting up my excited beating heart.
Permit its light to touch both high and low,
So around the mind my artist eyes dart.
Let passion sink into my porous soul,
And drown all meddlesome self doubts and fears.
Down the creative cascade may it roll,
Into the fingers, eyes, lips, nose, and ears.
Carry the passion weightlessly to all,
Vociferously whistling its tune,
Whispering to others to come and call,
In the warm summers in late afternoon.
Firmly passion be forever rooted,
Planted in my heart where it’s most suited.
Author notes
I was feeling frustated when someone was cutting down on a decision my heart had made... so I wrote this in response to help me strengthen that which was weakened.
I used the 4 elements... fire, water, air, and earth through out the poem as a creative way to instill more confidence in my decision... suggesting how natural and earthly this decision was for me.
