DIPPING OARS

you hunger for adventure
chasing memories to save
it's not the destination
it's the journey that you crave
.
there are no signs or road maps
just a lazy river's flow
oars dipped into the water
but no hint as where to go
.
if lost in recollection
new adventure may be lost
it takes a leap of faith
when mighty oceans must be crossed
.
you'll find adventure follows
if you're gazing straight ahead
oars dipped into the water
let its course be where you're led
.
your journey may be risky
you will bet against the odds
when you ramble with the reckless
and you gamble with the gods
.
your heart must be your compass
or your dreams will not come true
oars thrust into the water
on a course that's straight and true
