Poem #23 for National Poetry Month.

* * *

Have you ever met someone  
who is truly passionate about  
something?

Have you watched as their  
eyes lit up and a smile  
spread across their face at   
just the mention of that   
which they hold most precious  
in their lives?

Have you watched as it   
transformed them before  
your eyes into someone who  
is almost unrecognizable?

Have you stopped to listen  
to them as they talk about  
it and about what it means to  
them personally?

Have you shared in their   
enthusiasm as they are once  
again overcome by the love  
they have for whatever it is  
that they like to do?

Many people have interests  
but few people have passions.  
Few people have developed   
a love for something that is   
so strong they could not imagine  
living their lives without it.

Their passion drives them.  
Consumes them. Takes over   
them whenever it enters their   
lives and they are completely   
transformed by just   
the thought of it.

Have you ever just taken  
a second to appreciate  
a moment so simple and rare  
as a person who is living  
their passion?
