They don’t sit at the end
of a long work week,
waiting for you to grab
hold of them.
They’re not resting in your
bedroom on your bed,
or in your living room
on the mantle,
in clear view
for everyone to see,
and everyone to grasp.
That’s why their passions,
and not hobbies,
and not everyone has them.
You’ve got to search for them
most of the time
giving them your undivided
attention at times,
realizing that they’re what has
driven you here in the
first place.
Stumbling on to the boat has
happened in life,
but it’s rare!
Searching out and catching
a whiff of what you dare
to dream will lead you far.
Follow the scent to your prize
and see what you’ve been
envisioning all this time!
The more time you put into
what you’ve found,
the greater the reward
you’ll reap!
Life provides many opportunites,
in its short span,
but hides that
which give the most pleasure
deep in its forests,
hoping you’ll do
the foraging.
Apprehend these visions,
and capture your plum
on first sight
as you might not get
a second chance.
A stubbling or two
may happen, it’s true ,
but I’ll bet my bottom dollar,
passions won’t search for you…
