Guarded Gates

The mind pirouettes, ideas come about								
creative imagination seeded then sprout.								
The thickening of the roots 										 
the strengthening of the limbs									
flourishing concepts from within.

Now it’s time to go beyond										
an expedition to worlds not found.									
It is here to be courageous 
and test limits of intellect, 										
adventuring outside 										
parameters of being correct.

Shinoatis carinthitim spendocious tellee 								
Hoven precurios shallus ohhe freeh 								
Nowtween freye overis beh thye lates 								
Slowwlly koming bakk inside guarded gates.

It is this risk that must be taken 									
leaving the conforming habitual haven.								
These outside worlds bring inside veracity							
deepening the roots of life’s capacity.
