PASSION

Where does passion go?

Why does it flee before it is spent?

Has it no sense of time, nor pace?

What does one do with a heart rent

by passion’s too swift flow?

How empty is a life bereft of passion.

How lonely is a passionless soul.

Time stands still and lingers in empty space

covered in ash from burned-out coal.

The need to re-light passion is out of fashion.

Where does passion go?

I, certainly, do not know.
