A Life Unknown

With intensity and motion

I move forward and go toward

the vast open and unknown.

Seeking danger and adventure,

beauty and love.

Seeking everything and anything

or nothing at all.

A change of pace

with full embrace.

A breath of life

and new found peace.

A world of crazy,

a world of calm.

Each polar opposite

found near and far.

All quite intoxicating,

yet quite repulsive all the same.

Attracted, yet distracted.

Amused, yet afraid.

To seek the unknown

holds both

excitement and fear.

A mix of emotions

that can't quite be described.

But see, that's the thing:

it's always unknown

until you make it known.
