Embrace the Unknown


 

Eyes that shine with pride

Beautiful wings sprout and a halo appears although unseen

Kindness that you try to hide

Wandering feet have traveled to places I have never been

 

A heart of glass kept under lock and key

A smile that outshines the rest

The cruel mask crumbles, and only the truth is what I see

Unwavering strength and courage put to the test

 

Arms used to embrace the unknown

The mystery excites the pondering mind

Something that I cannot see; cannot smell or cannot hear, is it something that I can own?

You wonder how the story will soon unwind

 

The start begins with a journey, to sail through the hardships that I will come to meet

Mysteries that remain unsolved, and a means to an end is what I seem to never greet
