Tasting Passion

Tiptoeing around, afraid of breaking
an already precarious balance;
sensing a change in the tension that is
tied to who we are and what we want to
investigate in this life, so certain
neither of us is fully aware of
giving too little - or even too much -

passion for that which we find important.
All our focus centers on the now - here,
somehow ignoring - or avoiding - the
scary parts of love - lust - and life. Seeing
instead the wonder of where we are. Each
open to the newness, even though it’s
no longer new to other eyes - just ours.
