Dark Devotion
What exactly is passion?
Is it the upholding of morals? The intensity of joy, of love, of rage? Is it resentment or wrath? Or is it more quietly subtle?
A garden is a passion, a patriot is a passion, so too is a person who is deeply frustrated, sees the light and follows the passion. Or maybe it’s just a principle in your mind.
It may mean different things to different readers…however, I liken it to the Excalibur of a knight. Truth and honour are my take of it. But that is just today. Tomorrow it may mean something entirely different.
Perhaps…
