Be Wise; Be Bright


The moon was absent from this enchanting twilight.

Soon, we were in the middle of a dark, moonless night.

Walking home in terror was our perilous plight.


Darkness choked us until our throats were tight.

Even the stars were blocked from our eyesight.

What did we do to deserve this ghastly blight?


We had hope that everything would be all right.

This ill-planned journey provided insight.

Consider intuitions, no matter how slight. 


Plan out your quests early, at first light.

Look out for yourself; be wise; be bright. 

Don’t venture into the unknown without foresight.
