The quest is long. Years that stretch<\/p>\n
Into decades, bones that feel every mile.<\/p>\n
You ride metal, and flesh, the sea and sky.<\/p>\n
At the end your body no longer cares<\/p>\n
To see what is at the edge of the world.<\/p>\n
Your heart drinks in the answer when you<\/p>\n
Peer over the side: not turtles all the way down,<\/p>\n
No giant’s shoulders, no mountain top.<\/p>\n
It is the lovers, the dreamers,<\/p>\n
The romantics, the hopeful, and all<\/p>\n
The fools who carry it on their heads<\/p>\n
Precariously, not careful but dogged.<\/p>\n
You leap in to help.<\/p>\n
