Every journey begins with a step
The step is inspired by a thought
The thought by a vision
And the vision by a need

He saw her from a distance
She intrigued his attention
He had to reach out
But there was a wall
There were seas full of monsters between them

Undeterred he set out on the journey
He took the first step and said hello
She only whimpered her response in her mind
He kept moving towards her

Hundreds of days and moons later she whispered something back
It was a faint but all so heavenly whisper
He kept on moving towards her

Many perilous nights at sea
Fighting and docking emotional tides
He would almost ambush her in his dreams
But she would always escape
He kept hunting for her

The journey was long and hard
Battles were lost and won
Now she is only an arm length away
So near but yet so far
Will he ever hold her so close...
