“Perseverance through the unknown builds trust in the journey ahead.”
Elder being with youthful skin,
Grey hair and oceanic eyes,
Under his arm a book of spells,
Carrying that which made him wise.
With a mighty ink-filled sword,
Carving his runes with care,
Creating freshly borne magic,
Eagerly waiting to be shared,
The hero’s journey awaits,
A difficult path thought lost,
Others tread past blissfully unaware,
Of the paved road’s unspoken cost.
Sunlight fades behind warped wood,
Creatures of the forest appear,
From shadow they choose to observe,
The being whose raw creation they hear.
”I must go on, I must keep forth,”
”Better things lie ahead,”
”I cannot go where others expect,”
”I must trust myself instead.”
Suddenly trees part to fields of grass,
Colored flowers with rainbows above,
The wizard retires to this resting place,
As his soul passes on with pure love.

This made me happy and filled my minds eye with imagery! Makes me want to read a fantasy novel or just feel like I’m going on my own adventure.
That inner knowing…of ones purpose or determination and the ending…🫠
