Dawn of new day descends
Sky buckles from thunder
Clouds of darkness contend
Filled with newfound wonders
Storm calms, dances away
Sunny face welcomed back
Good vibes arrive to say
Filled with joy’s precious snacks
Hours pass with timely bliss
Thirsty minutes consumed
Yet, life never amiss
Filled with flowers all bloomed
Moonlight ascends on cue
Tomorrow’s sunlight waits
Every shadow’s breakthrough
Filled with transforming fate
Peering into endless darkness
Fearing night’s disquieting steps
Hiding in wilderness shadows
Hearing distant tap at doorstep
Searching horizon, now silent
Missing gracious slice of moonlight
Looking into starless abyss
Galloping toward hidden knight
Catching glimpse of advancing dawn
Feeling comfortable with fate
Focusing on ember of light
Opening journey’s final gate
Reaching intended rendezvous
Bring peace to life’s blessed love
Sharing from adventure’s story
Finding early sunrise above
The true adventurer goes forth aimless and uncalculating to meet and greet unknown fate.
