Ode to Passions

Passions high in mirth and charming wit
Every player profound at being part of “it”
Inner workings of special minds
Are open to all, especially the blind.

People gather through wiry complex
Among inner workings of the Internet
To share, explore, and pass judgment kind
Then share with all the thoughts on their mind.

Some are stealthy, cagey, ambiguous, it's true
In the names they give themselves, there's hardly a clue
To the real person that runs brightly through words
And hardly one thinks of another as weird.

Different, maybe; strange, oh yes
But never with anger or angst: all are treated as loving guests
And hardly one over the other thinking their writing is best
So, Thank you Passions, for this wonderful outlet.

(smiles) Oh Karilea, this is wonderful, I LOVE IT, I am so happy you re-posted this as I feel so many of us relate to how comely Passions is from when we first arrived and how you continue to bring sun to our hearts! (sigh) This is absolutely beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
