472. Passion

```

Passion is possession.

Live in the vital,

You will know it.

Passion is frustration.

Live in the mind,

You will feel it.

Passion is perdition.

Live in the heart,

You will discover it.

Yet

Passion is not rejection

By God’s Compassion.

Passion is illumination

When it shakes hands with aspiration.
