The Road to Danger

The road to danger is one oft taken by many -
its charms are difficult to resist.
One who craves for the thrill and the rush
that a static life cannot give will fall prey.
That one has to chase after ghosts and
Run against the wind shows the nature of man:

Man is dynamic. We do not think all the time,
Nor do we reason. We leap, and when we do,
we take the road to danger, throwing away
Our precaution, our sensibilities, our consciousness
and replacing it with faith in life itself.

The urge to leave, to learn, to feel:
They are dangers to us only if you see us as fragile.
Yet once you open your eyes, you realize
They make up life’s most precious gems.

So throw away the gnawing worries at the corner
of your mind. Set out for an adventure,
And learn to embrace life in a different light.

One is only given so much time to live,
Yet many take it for granted. I say,

Take the road to danger and start living.
