The Gifted One

Born into the abyss
That first breath you take is bliss
As you start your journey
Into a world of breathtaking beauty

Life leads you to places unknown
The best destinations are those you’re not shown
The world you discover is yours to claim
Where real and ideal are one and the same

Walk this earth to its end
Seek the mysteries around the bend
Greet the sea, sift the sand through your toes
Learn beyond what everyone knows

Avoid the torrents that sweep away your hopes and dreams
As you navigate life’s rivers and streams
When you encounter torment and cruelty along your way
Smile and move on, do not dismay

Be a being of radiant light
Powered by joy that burns hot and bright
A beacon to others who seek the same thrill
As you embrace the priceless gift of free will
