An Artist's View

Without passion:

Faith seeps through

a crack in the soul.

Without zeal:

Hope slips out of

a heart's tiny hole.

Without enthusiasm:

Joy leaks past

the spirits door.

Without dedication:
Dreams escape a

single breath, no more.

Without commitment:

Peace departs a

broken life's portal.

Without perseverance:

Love releases its

hold on a simple mortal.
