Venture You hold a secret art The kind of treasure I revere I call on you to take me far away Traverse the vast that I hold dear Sadness, you held the key I need To get beyond the door of woe Dream again of wonders of the vast Towards joy, awareness and flow Fire I'll let you light my way To the places I have longed to see Wisdom lies hidden in our hearts Shackled, longing to be free Then death comes and grabs you by the shoulders And speaks in harsh tone In the end your path, your life is your own But there are hard choices to be made To follow your heart, embrace it when it aches And to hold it close until the very end
