Journey To The Unknown (poem)

Journey To The Unknown

A 3,100 mile orbit of concrete, Automobiles and local humanity, Lightly spiced with a hint of nature And fed by the Grace of God, Supported with the efforts of friends Who sympathize with the pain, The joys And the challenges Facing at every moment The handful of Hero-Warriors.

Running, walking, struggling To the beat of their own Undying aspirations Of this fifty-one day Epic adventure, These Ultimate Survivors Of obstacles unimaginable Are proving to humanity With their unparalleled perseverance And adamantine wills That the impossible Can be done, And the Universal Energy Can be unleashed To raise our standards And lift our minds Beyond the limits Of our broken bodies And faithless thoughts, To reveal the Beauty And the Power Of Life's long and arduous Journey to the Unknown.
