DON’T SEARCH FOR PASSION

Baby girl for what do you look?

There is no purpose for living that must be sought.

My sweet child for what do you search?

All that you need comes from above

There is no passion hidden under the sun.

It is not a treasure for a map to led.

Nor is it a class for the wise to receive.

Passion is a journey it is a lust for life.

That the good Lord gives to help us find eternal life.

It is a way

 to propel the weak and make bright the wise.

Beautiful child of my youth,

Search not for what cannot be found.

For passion is not a what, but a how.

It is how I live my life and how I love,

It is how I write, and how I smile.

It is a gift from the Lord my God

Surrender your heart and this passion will be yours.

.

Search not for what cannot be found.

For passion is not a what, but a how.

It is how I live my life and how I love,

It is why I write it can be given

but it can never be found.


Amen to that... you never have to look for passion because it is always within your heart.

So true...and all the time spent chasing things that we think we are passionate about....and the things that are a true passion are in our lap the whole time and the passion does not require work,becasue the work is our passion. Great job.

that was really great my friend ,i was really touched
such strong dreamy words,i was taken with the emotion filled
how i was stunned by the wise words in it,and i knew it
right away..life is not a treasure hunt..its not the treasure ,its the hunt
life is the journey ,the search the map..take a step and many will follow
its lots of joy to walk and fill the earth with your breath..life is for the wise
dont look away too much ,you get lost ,take it whereever you get it and go
never look for the beginning or the end,start where it end with you..its like a stupid race
i really loved this ,my friend ,i could go forever telling how i read you and read you well
amazing words and thoughts
and lovely write..
