Spiritual Passion
Posted on 15. Oct, 2007 by Barry Hurd in Coffee - Volume Two, Spiritual
Character has no path, except for the moment when one becomes aware.
As if life, the evolution of desire and hope, cares not for being average.
Tomorrow may need to find this body surrendered and cast down,
Yet I will find the improvement, here and now, as I build my soul’s abode.
Character is the effort we take to learn our triumphs and our failures,
It is the second we find out what we are made of, so that we may define all else.
The search for our passion, of indiscretion and of wanting desire.
Minutes of faithful love destined to be contrasted by heartfelt agony.
Character is our perfect fortune in life, a treasure that only one may possess.
It is a parody of everything, the very symbol of our actions and our beliefs.
The wealth of having all we need as we question each answer, and move forward.
This is not dreaming, it is of prosperity and respect, for yourself and all others.
Character is war, where victory is destined to happiness, hopeful and prosperous.
When failure is a challenge to your very survival, begging for mercy that may never appear.
It is a conquest of worlds fought by every spirit, striving every unfaltering step of the way,
As we learn to take each movement further, without looking back, to become ourselves.
