Into Discovery
When you have risked it all
just to have a taste.
When you have feasted on victory,
and swallowed defeat.
When you've achieved ambitions,
yet still felt unfulfilled.
When you realized it's not
about what you own, but more
about what you experience.
When you see the sun on the
horizon, or the rising full moon.
Can you feel it's unrelenting pull?
When wanting to explore
becomes the need to explore.
Take the time to praise your God
and seek the rare, the unknown.
Seek the path less trodden
and perceive an elation of spirit.
Let your dreams find adventure.
Mount your steed and ride into
the rising sun. Into discovery!
