Spark

To live,
You need only to breathe in and out,
To find the means to feed and water yourself,
Or,
If lucky,
Get fed and watered by others.

But to truly live,
To truly live and breathe the passion that humans have nearly lost,
You must feel the wind in your hair,
The beat of your heart,
The fire in your soul,
And the power in your mind.
It's the spirit we've nearly forgot,
It's hard to keep the spark alive.
When the winds howl so violently,
It's hard to stay alive,
When the spark is nearly out.
