A Travel Monologue..

I sailed over a thousand seas,
I crossed a thousand mountains,
I have passed through unwelcome woods,
And drank from sparkling fountains.

I have sculled over bottomless depths,
In search of one true love,
I have trespassed over private lands,
And touched the sky above.

I have fought with beasts and raced with men,
And made merry till the hour of dawn,
I have drank with the Gods and sinned with the Dark,
All for the woman that I want.

The endless quest goes on and on,
On and on till I may die,
Love I might not have got, my lady I might not have found,

But I gained the exhilir of life.

My travels took me far and beyond,
Beyond the realms of possibility,
And I shall move on and on,
Till I fade into eternity.
