The reservoir

[Tramspotter]

When you put a dam on the river of your passion
You very well might harness great power to accomplish your dreams
When you put a dam on the river of your passion
You may find great escape and frolic in the unnatural lake created
When you put a dam on the river of your passion
Others might come enjoy a wonderful picnic on a pristine shore
When you put a dam on the river of your passion
Children might swim and play above and below unburdened and free
When you put a dam on the river of your passion

Nature adapts to the new reality and a deer walking by takes a cool drink
Out of thirst...

because it exists:
instinct
without anticipation
sensation
without contemplation
satiety
without joy
remembrance
without reflection
withdrawing
without gratitude

When you put a dam on the river of your passion
You choose how and what to build in your mind
When you put a dam on the river of your passion
You alter the landscape effecting both above and below
When you put a dam on the river of your passion
Others may find it frightening, fascinating, or forgettable
When you put a dam on the river of your passion
Children might not understand why you would do such a silly thing
You might find your river to merely be a stream
When you attempt to put a dam on your passion

You adapt while attempting to control the flow and let mind alter reality
Out of hubris...

because you exist:
planning
with anticipation
feeling
with contemplation
satiety
Bringing joy
memories
with reflection
living life
with gratitude
