Passion!
Is the inspiration behind genius.
Passion!
Is purity which Loves for it's own sake
Passion harbors gritty endurance
That withstands the gale of withering opposition
Passion is a nectar...
Which provides sustaining grace in the face of extreme odds.
Passion is the gift of insight which perceives a reality obscured to the casual observer.
Passion plays center stage in it's own drama
And dances to the beat of an unknown drummer
Passion manufactures it's own joy...
And nourishes it's own truth
Passion understands it's own unique sorrows
And endures to reap it's own peculiar Reward.

Lola...
I love it. Somehow I managed to miss it the first time. Either that or I'm just getting old and don't remember it :)
TLW...ROAR!
You are so Passionate! You must be a poet as well as a broker............you write so beautifully!
Lola, very very well written, and like TLW I also missed it the first time. I guess I just don't get around that good any more.
Tough to get old ....... LOL
Lola,
Thanks for the post. Clearly we are all very passionate about our vocation. Those peculiar rewards are just around the corner.
We all need to find something in our lives that we feel passionate about. Good reminder to focus on our passion.
I don't think one can reach success without passion; thank you for sharing this wonderful poem.
Somehow I missed this last year. But I'm so thankful that you dug it up and reintroduced it to us. The sentiment is incredible ... and tremendously thought provoking. Thank you. :)
Thanks for your comments on this post. I'm out of the office this week, but enjoyed dropping in to catch up. Blessings to you all for a great day!
