What is Passion? (II)

Is it the tantalizing of senses? The breath upon skin? The taste, smell and ache of your beloved? An intensity which takes our breath away...challenges us to savour life...grasp it with everything we have...what we are...who we become...

Is passion found only within the raw flesh...discovered solely within the eyes of one's sweetheart? Hearing the beating of their heart...aching to be held? A merging of spirits?

Or can it also be found in the creation of a cause? The stirring of the soul for something far greater than oneself? Crying out at the injustices within our world?

Can passion be found as we age....does it diminish with the onset...as we become travelers through time? Is this lost, is this love gained?
