No End to Adventure

"Where to Now?" - CCP Complex - Manila, 31 August 2015
“Where to Now?” – CCP Complex – Manila, 31 August 2015

i see

no end

to the

path

before me,

i see

no blocks

upon a

road

stretching forth.

 

all i

see

are adventures

waiting

for me;

waiting

for me

to start

walking

running

with a

purpose.

 

and my

feet

tread the

bricks

the uneven

cobblestones

beneath them

and know

that i

enter

new territory

as the

ground below

changes

terrain shifts.

 

and the

smog

gives way

to the

sea breezes,

mountain winds,

the zephyrs

whistling

through wood

through glade

the mistral

shrieking

over dune

over hill;

fresher air

everywhere.

 

and i

need not

ask

as to

where

to go;

i need

no map

to plot

my course:

i just

listen

to the

wind

feeling it

swirl

around me

and i

go

where it

takes me.
