How Far From Home?

image

We set out from home with comrades in tow.
The sunlight shone on every trampled stone.

image

Our hearts were free from the monotony,
Of daily life’s grief, work, and disease.

image

Every challenge seen, we accepted with glee.
Like trails of bunnies, our paths careened.

image

In the wide, open range we rested from fame.
No gold or silver claim, not even a name.

image

This edge of disaster, we came to master;
We kept going faster as we burst with laughter.

image
Our path took us over many a river and boulder;
A single, daily adventure, in the moment, lasts forever.

image
Looking back, where we were just moments ago;
The awe and wonder of God’s creation below.

image
Onward and upward, and further and inward,
Higher and colder, as we travel to Asgard.

image
Every step, every ledge, we struggle against.
Some laugh, some help, as we hang off the edge.

image
Overcoming the obstacles, we rest on the mountain;
No matter the improbable, we drink from Dragon Fountain.

image
Over the troll bridges, we head back to home.
Avoiding the disadvantages of becoming meat and bone.

image
To home we returned, for there’s no better place;
A place, I’ve learned, where love and peace stay.
