And warm blood percolates these veins in the darkness of night
And it is lust
The inspiration of the human condition to find oneness
And out upon the pitch of destiny to seek the mirror of the soul
And become whole

Bring listen to the song of the other; attuned to follow, at times to lead
And it is love
And out upon the sparkling of a summer sun to find affection
To seek the healing touch
And learn how to forgive so much

The tempo of the journey written out of reach upon the stars
And fever permeates the flesh and burns the ego
And it is passion
The fuel that drives the thirst for triumph
And bring the motion and the rhythm of creation
Succumb in gentle jubilation

And bathe within the waters deep and still
The faith of innocence resolved into the solitude of winter white
And it is prayer
The divination of the soul grown beautiful with time
And bring the spirit of humanity
To single flower from a pure calamity

(smiles) Yes, yes, it is passion that always encourages us to rise to His light and what fuels us to hold our dreams close to our heart and pray for many promising things to come to us all! (kiss on cheek) This is gorgeous, sweet friend, your words speak so wonderfully, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I was going to point out the most powerful lines and comment on them, but there got to be too many. Very good poem. You go from lust to prayer, with a lot of verve.  The last line was a masterpiece in itself.
