A Quest To Conquer

He walked through the forest

As naïve as a little boy could be.

He journeyed on and on

He felt like floating upon blobs of clouds.

His poor heart rejoiced

As he continued his search for the unknown

And his quest towards the unknown.

The boy never knew he was out in the wild.

Not until he opened his eyes

And saw tall, sturdy trees

Looking down on him.

Then he saw creatures of predatory gazes.

Their fangs glistened,

Their growls reverberated throughout him,

Their claws sank down the earthy soil.

The boy never knew he was in danger.

Not until adrenaline rushed through his veins

And his ears gone sensitive to his background.

All of a sudden,

He grew weary of his surroundings.

Heard every deep breath

Heard every crunch of his worn-out boots against the soil

And every rustling of the leaves and grass felt like waves crashing

And hurting.

He never knew what's happening.

Until everything dawned upon him

And every bit of him is hurting.

He opened his eyes once again,

Only to see

He was a pitiful victim

Of the ever greatest force known,

Love.
