Passion
by George HoernerI’m not stripped of passion
Yet
Who knows when
But it may come
I’ve had this passion for life
At least from the time
I was in high school
Life, the whole thing
Beginning to end
Where ever they have led
I don’t have the answers
Any!
But the passion hangs on
To see and to know
The difference between
All the beauty
All the ugliness
Of the world
Which has both
And if we don’t see
All of it
We might just as well
Not even look
