Revan

Passion surrounds me
fills and overtakes me
floods my cheeks and slurs my speech
it saps my strength and defeats me

Strength surges through me
with a renewed bravado
adrenals pumping and muscles stretching
it empowers and fuels me

Power excites me
a dangerous high
numbing tingles and maniacal laugh
it courses through me till victory

Victory thrills me
deep competitive spirit
flexing arms and jeering remarks
it leaves me with a sense of peace

Peace warms me
a halfhearted lie
flower blossoms and burning incense
it fills me with knowledge

Knowledge enlightens me
destroyed ignorance
research done and hypothesis tested
it informs me of personal serenity

Serenity graces me
blissfully aware
tidal waves and burning stars
it brings me to harmony

Harmony
synchronized compassion
forgiveness and respect
it frees me

My chains broken
a new man released
new tools given to me
with which I’m granted the force
It surrounds me
surges through and overtakes me
excites and thrills me
warms and informs, enlightens and graces me
it doubles back and brings me passion
