Apologia Christi

You like to travel far and wide
climb astutely arid mountains
take foreign cultures in your stride
throw rusty coins in ancient fountains

But then just invitational
a faint and otherworldy friend
so close and yet ineffable
takes you beyond an unknown bend

Though an adventure just the same
he shows from what you would refrain
it leaves your deepest fear untamed
and leads along a higher plane

to real uncharted territory
This is adventure’s greatest story
