The Adventure

With the tendrals of time

reaching out for me,

and urging me on...to quicken my pace;

I begin the adventure.

 

And all that I require is,

the knowledge to navigate,

the tenacity to move forward,

and the imagination to believe it can be.

 

Should there be plotting and planning?

It really matters, not.

For the latest adventure beckons,

and I've heard mice aren't so inclined.

 

Will your reactions prove a benefit?

with every instance, nuance, and moment...

..your creativity can tip the scales,

and your adventure will surely unfold.

 

And because you're the "star" of the moment,

you're in charge of owning your fate...

..you will learn so much of yourself,

as the rope of your soul gets tested.

 

Your strongest points will actually swell,

as your weaknesses but fade away,

and you will own the adventure...

..and mold the future with your wits.
