Travels of the Fool
How far have you been
Did you reach glory?
Was the path paved in gold
Or was it a rocky road to follow
Did you give up and get off
Believing hardship to be a wrong course
If you agree and did not proceed
Then it is not likely victory you will see
There is no prediction or pre-exsisting condition
In the Travels of the Fool
To the Fool backwards moves him forward
To the Fool a deep cliff is a clear path
To the Fool meeting enemies is a chance to win friends
To the Fool there is no ending to begin
To the Fool luck is infinite possibilities
Without any determined outcome
In the Travels of the Fool
Are you ashamed of playing the Fool
All because love didn’t love you
Maybe you are afraid to be labeled a Fool
From a childhood of ridicule,
Characterized by laughter and actions against you
Filling your heart with fear in actin’ like a Fool
Fear not because everybody plays the Fool….sometimes!
Rest assured there is a sense of purity
When stepping out most unassuredly
With the mind mesmerized by what others don’t see
Oftentimes what a fool might not fully see
Of outcomes and promises, yet to be
As wise men stare in amazement,
At the faith of the fool to walk right in
And return with only the scars of experience
A fool asks for the truth
So begins another journey
To Places of Vague Description
A Fool Knows Not Nor Cares
Living for the Freedom and Chance Learning
Adventures are many in any direction the wind blows
Scorned and shunned, he still smiles like a child
Happy to be just that in the eyes of the crowd
Have you lived long enough to identify the never-ending
Travels of the Fool, or could it be that this IS YOU?
