Passion 1 – The Beginning

“In the beginning God created the world”
For one brief moment
Man’s passion was Him
That had brought life into being
Then a look away that passion was changed
To evil and sin and not to Him
Man was passionate in lust,
In greed and power.
It makes me think about our world today,
A modern, sophisticated and self-centered time.
What are my passions?
What make my soul rock?
God created my passion
So where is it now?
Does it focus in Him
Or the world we live in?
Questions are answered
But, where does it lead?
I guess we need to go 
All the way to the end
To find what is encapsulated 
In the one little work
That can be so evil
And yet so pure
The word I’m talking about
Is the word PASSION.

Beaten Down

I feel like a nail
Constantly being hit
Knocking me down
Into the ground
Blow after blow
Pushes me further
Until I disappear completely
Or the force causes me
To snap in two.
