Valley
of the
dark.
From
one rim
to the
next.
Sojourn.
Navigation
from one
side
to the
next.
Fraught
with peril.
Valley
deep,
dark.
Serpents
full.
Journey
fraught
with peril.
No choice.
From one
rim
to the
next.
Mountains
to climb.
Raging
rivers
to cross.
Wild beasts
in profusion.
Once here
no choice.
Lessons
to learn.
Meaning.
Point.
Conquest!
Shield
on arm,
sword
in hand.
Journey
to make.
Success,
to be
determined.

Those lessons in life give us the experience to move forward into a better future.

Not always I’m afraid. Thank you for reading.
a thought provoking write, yet again dear poet
(and thanks for inspiring my little scribbled reply)..
'there is a reason why zebra's have evolutionarily masked themselves in unnatural stripes and choose to blend-in, than stand - out..
there is a reason why democracy was hated by ancient empires who strived for that 'ever greater'..
there is a reason
we like to forget - existence
is but a sojourned state
and that our countdown, started
before we drew, our very first breath...'
So true.... Thank you for reading!
