"Prayer for Passion" by Ross Kingham

	Prayer for Passion

	In some, the senses are filled to the full, with spirit. The sparkle comes from the depths gifting with passion and generosity and a dreaming of the most stirring, daring kind. Others seem to withhold, sucking inward breath and colour from their extremities, look pallid, rub hands, rug their bodies, seeking and rejecting light and warmth, absorbing a little, then removing it from their lips, eyes, skin, into the bottomless pit in the soul, leaving body and spirit bereft, wracked with numbness. They live in a state of shock, rarely laughing or even smiling in that shiny, full sort of way, or playing or weeping. They hear the music correctly, distantly, but not resonating or dancing to the beat of that most powerful rhythm that flings stars in space and ignites love in a child's eye, and ripples across lakes under a full moon scattering a kind of fire in the most startling of ways.
