Live not, within the margins of all scope, <br />but cast adrift the tethers of restraint. <br />Engage the charmer, raising high the rope <br />and follow paths from hearts who be not faint. <br /> <br />Adventure lies without the wombs of home, <br />beyond the cushioned comforts and the locks <br />which keep both out and in, we dare not roam. <br />In silence, Opportunity, she knocks. <br /> <br />The boldest have the ears to hear the call. <br />To see the possibilities in 'chance'. <br />Would that we all would have the wherewithal <br />to grasp the nettles of our hesitance. <br /> <br />The price of peril met, may not come cheap, <br />but faith is not the only driver, goading us to leap.<br /><br />Dan Reynolds<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-jump-or-not-to-jump-2/
