Life is an Adventure

Life is an adventure

That must be experienced

With no regrets about the past

And no worries about the future.



We must live in the moment,

Not counting our breathes

Until our last but in

Holding our breath

When we fall in love

Or jump off the cliff

Into happiness.



It cannot be spent idling

On the sidelines of exploration;

We must discern everything

With a child’s curiosity

And a wise man’s astuteness.


Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by: "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure." - Helen Keller
