The Quest Begins

A time ago, the mere thought of this quest was daunting

A fear of the unknown

Now I take my first steps with anticipation

No traces of hesitation

 

I only yearn to reach the end

The end of all ends

After navigating all the bumps and bends in my path

Have true purpose on the way

Through the night and all through the day

The journey will be tough

But I have helping hands

Guiding me through my way

Strength and courage

Come easily now

And I have the confidence that I can clear my own way

Now, I have a say

No more will I be quiet

And without temerity

It is the time for the gumption to rise inside me

To show true spirit and heart

But be wary and on my guard

Throughout

And not reckless

 

The first to be left behind

Are petty feelings

Reform starts there

And along the path come, comfort and security

Along with them a measure of peace

Enforce the knowledge that I will be okay

 

Be secure in my own security

And bothered only about my purpose

Not troubled unnecessarily

The journey will go on

Time does not stop or slow down

I have to match my time with actuality

And spend it very wisely

 

Now I'm almost upon the threshold

Of true and meaningful discoveries

I have already started incrementally

However, the real work is yet ahead of me

For now, I prepare to enter

The next stage of my destined journey.
