Heart of the Quest
In shadows cast by fear's tight grip
We hesitate, our courage slips
The path ahead, a daunting sight
Yet hidden there, potential light
We cling to comfort, known and safe
Afraid to leap, to take that brave
But in the heart of every dare
Lies the thrill of the unknown, rare
The whispers of what could be
Are drowned by doubts, we fail to see
Yet every step into the new
Unfolds a world, a broader view
The comfort zone, a gilded cage
Where dreams are stifled, passions age
Yet outside lies a boundless sky
Where dreams can soar, where spirits fly
We fear the fall, the stumble, the fail
But every setback tells a tale
Of lessons learned, of strength regained
Of courage found, of wisdom gained
The unknown calls, a siren's song
To venture forth, to journey long
For in the quest, the brave will find
A richer heart, a broadened mind
So, take the step, embrace the fear
For in the leap, the path is clear
The future waits, a canvas wide
With colors bold, with dreams untied
In every heart, a seed is sown
Of dreams and hopes, of the unknown
Nurture it with courage's light
And watch it grow, and take its flight
For life is short, and time is fleet
Don't let fear hold you in defeat
Embrace the new, the untried ways
And find the joy in all your days
So let the fear, the doubts, the dread
Be left behind, let courage spread
For in the end, it's clear to see
The greatest joy is to be free
To try, to fail, to rise again
To live a life without refrain
For in the heart of every quest
Lies the path to life's very best
