When you’re handed a quest for you to pursue,
Do you hope that it’s elaborate and clear,
That detail all the actions that will ensue,
Or have no rules that you will have to adhere?
Would you want to be tailed and taken care of,
Protected in case you slip, a net waiting,
Or would you prefer blind trust than love,
Letting you slip and fall, always learning?
Do you like that you know everyone around,
Each of them a familiar face from yore,
Or do you like to be free from relations, unbound,
To find new people to hold and adore?
A map carto graphed with intense skill,
Or a blank canvas that is yours to fill?
Your title reminds me of Shakespeare, so I think this sonnet form fits very well! I also like the use of questions. It makes it a very thought-provoking read.
The contrast between longing for security and hoping for adventure so beautifully brought out!!
