Edicts of Exploration FN2401

For the earnest seekers of solace, for the fierce alias of adventure...

These are the Decrees of Discovery, These are the Edicts of Exploration

To roam where the few have trodden,
To journey to unreachable heights,
To conquer the greatest of feats,
To achieve the impossible dream.
To claw through the darkest of days,
To hope when there's no way out,
To hold resolute despite the Everest of odds,
To find sanctuary in the arms of nature,
To find refuge on the summits of imagination.

Why does our trust fail in this sojourn of life,
In our wasteful and distracted lives,
We rush through our precious moments,
Frivolously wading through the mud of envy and pride,
Though a pursuit of so called happiness and success is our game,
When already the goal exists within us. 

So explore the deepest yearnings of your heart,
Venture into the woods of wisdom,
Summit to the peaks of paradise,
Rediscover uncharted waters,
Touch what nature has to offer,
Breathe deeply the wild air, 
And become the adventure. 

​Rest at the foot stool of God,
In the crisp alpine passes and the thick valley creek beds,
On the crest of the ocean and soaring through the clouds, 
Where your soul meets it's maker,
And you feel the purifying reason to live.

This is the last frontier of exploration.
