PASSIONATE PLAY


Awakening, in delight
at life's decision
To give me love in
the prime of my life

Repressed, depressed
so long
Taken up with survival,
fame
Recognition

Now emerging, different
Throwing off the
Shackles of illusion
Discovery

Finding love in simple
pleasures
Playing, loving
sunrises
The sound of gulls
The roll of the ocean drum

Playing the tune of
intimate association
With life in reality
No dream
but creativity

Playing life in contact
with the spirit
of reality
In touch, intimate
in
Passionate Play
