If asked what it felt like when my spirit lit up from within
I'd reply
Why use past tense when asking about sparking passion?
Why assume that life's passions burn less bright with age?
That passionate connection ignites only for youth?
Just as I feel my smile emote from a place of sweetness within
Or I feel my smile reflect a sense of inner peace or joy
Emotion, spurred by passion, pulses through my blood ...
Dialing up the heat until the warmth of one pilot light
Catalyzes such a flaring attraction in another that
Responsiveness melts two spirits into one no less, today
Than when I was young
Need I mention that ingniting passion is less likely
When firewalls, made of fearful resistance, erect?
May I suggest that fire walls of resistance
Diminish one's eagerness to wallow in pools of pleasure
For both genders at all ages for sound reason?
That the emotion, which reduces arousal of pleasure
Automatically is FEAR
Fear of not being
Good enough
Bright enough
Smart enough
Strong enough
Tall enough
Small enough
Rich enough
Toned enough
Flexible
Expansive
Elastic
Thin
Beautiful
Lovable
Successful
Funny
Or whatever it is that others seem to be ... Naturally
That you are sure you're not ... And will never be
That no matter how hard you work and strive
In fear of not measuring up
You'll open your eyes and find yourself tied to your past
As Annie starts high school
Let's see how easily her natural connection
To self confident, positively focused passion is doused
By self rejection based in haunting memories
Of mean minded taunts, which arise in her mind
As though what has passed is not past at all ...
Antidote to passive resistance to pleasure?
Overcome subconscious fear ...
Uh ... Need I say that fear must be named
Before passion knows no age ...
