The Call to Adventure

“The Call to Adventure. 2:30 P.M.”

The day runs high; from the Sun’s gaze, no one can hide. In the Man, a woman confides.

Two broken pieces: they wish to make one. Folded, his eyes stark along tired lines and creases.

A woman, only seeking advice.
A man, only seeking sweet retribution:
A return from his vice.
An angel, only seeking entertainment:
The story provides life.

The day runs high; from the Sun’s gaze, no one can hide. In the Man, a woman confides.
Two broken pieces: they wish to make one.
Folded, his eyes stark along tired lines and creases.

He reaches, not with a hand but with the softest of words: the oration of the greatest of speeches.
She reaches, not with her voice but with the softest of hands; her touch will never leave his.

A woman, only seeking advice.
A man, only seeking sweet retribution:
A return from his vice.
An angel, only seeking entertainment:
The story provides life.

The day runs high; from the Sun’s gaze, no one can hide. In the Man, a woman confides.
Two broken pieces: they wish to make one. Folded, his eyes stark along tired lines and creases.

She declares with a crow, “Let’s leave this town; let’s just go!”; into his eyes her gaze reaches.
Mind ensnared, he speaks slow: “What an idea!”; indeed, grand visions spur in infinite deepness.
“How rare,” his voice low, “...to be called to adventure”; words that move mountains: the steepest.

A woman, only seeking advice.
A man, only seeking sweet retribution:
A return from his vice.
An angel, only seeking entertainment:
The story provides life.

The Sun moves forward; from its rays,
The Man’s eyes rise.
His spirit is revitalized.

One whole piece, mended from their wishes. Upright, his eyes bright as the deep blue skies.

She exclaims with a smile, “Woah! What a sight!” His smile so rare: it shatters even the light.

He exclaims with a tone riled, “Let us take flight!” Her beauty a snare: it drives away all fright.

The Woman may only have been seeking advice;
The Man may only have wanted a return from his vice;
Two motivations convoluted, yet the Angel sees, they provide each other life.

The call to adventure, a savior in every right.
