Calliope,

Literary: Ventures of the lost

Familiar is the fear,
Deliberate, the dread
Tailing your tentative footsteps
Toward what lies ahead
And in your company
Is a wearisome query,
One that plagues the minds of many
And now rests heavy on your tongue—
At this journey’s end, what will you become?
To that, you’ve no answer;
And to this, we are all bound
Ceaselessly seeking what can never be found
Yet you surge forth, blindly
And of this, you’re unaware:
The resounding clarity
With which your heart sees,
Pushing worn and weary feet
In pursuit of fevered dreams—
Betrays a courage
Only few can hope to bear.
