How can passion make our lives better?

each day

rekindle it

with a light heart

it is okay

to strive for something

dreaming about reaching stars

a small fire

is enough

to keep you warm

and gives you light

on your journey

through life.

Burning fire

out of control,

consuming

your body

and your heart,

changes to obsessions

with a blink of an eye.

Anything you want

too much

you seek

without release

high set of expectations

you never meet

becoming the victim

of your self image

a slave

to ambitions

vanity

ego

and greed.

All that energy

you need,

never satisfied hunger

you constantly feed

burst out

in flames

leaving

nothing

no sense,

just a pile of ashes

at your feet.

Relying on people,

places

and events

to feed your passion,

making you happy

is the ultimate fantasy,

with feelings

of pleasure

and disappointment

chasing each other

without end.

Happiness

thrives on

the life source

energies

ever consuming you,

sexuality

ever leaving you,

creativity

always searching for

spirituality

always appreciated

joy

mixing happily

according to the individual

choice,

with passion

you make

your own coctail

of the permanent happiness.

The interior peace

feeling good

inside your own skin

relax

don't try so hard

to please and impress

ever hungry crowd.

How can you explain,

that you don't waste

your energy anymore

on burning you out passions,

on the things you can not change,

regret, guilt or anxiety

becomes

are just empty words

of the past.

You seem to know

exactly

how to proceed

and you seem to know

the connection to others

with enough passion

to help them know,

they are not alone.

And it turns out to be

the most healing thing

you can do.
