Adventure!
Ah, you call my gypsy heart!
How strong your lure,
I am seduced
To dance with nature here;
Let me play
Reckless with the waters--
Azure-turquoise waves
Of pure delight.
The mildest wind
Caresses me to cause
Frissons of anticipation,
The sun licks hot
Burning careless skin.
Here I am
Alive, alive!
Adventure!
Steal me from my
Ordinary World --
I cannot bear
The shackles of normality,
So I must seek
Adventure!
