A Little Adventure

Artist Unknown
I am not sure, what inspired Bilbo Baggins
To go on his adventure with the Dwarfs
Is it a curiosity
A longing to break free
Of our comfortable lives
To discover something new
About the world, and ourselves
Each step, brings us closer to a new discovery
Of truth, that could not be seen
From whence we were
The shadows of the unknown
Require a determined step
To discover what they hide
Oftentimes, it is not pretty
Nor is it safe
But what is safety? Anyway?
And what are we hiding from?
Ourselves?
Thank goodness!!
That a tale can take us
Where our feet may not go
Some call it courage
Some go to escape
But each time we go
We never come back the same
May I always look
For the untraveled path
That my eyes may see
And my heart know
All that is truly important
Whenever I go on , A Little Adventure
For my soul
Bears it’s best fruit
When I do
