Pillars Of Wisdom

I set sail on a sailing ship across the seven seas in search for the pillars of wisdom near the gates of Hercules. I sailed through calm waters and storm laden seas to find the books of knowledge near the cradle of the world. I’ve had many adventures and some near tragedies with broken sails and rudders, nearly floundered on rocks many times, but my steadfast determination to find the goal I sought would lead to calm waters, a rest bite for my soul before my quest began again. Dangers I face multiplied as the years foraged on in my search for the pillars of wisdom on some far flung distant shore. Many races I encountered as the years multiplied in tens, but my quest would never end until I found the pillars of wisdom near the gates of Hercules. Times grew not my enemy but an invisible friend as my hair grew white and my beard grew long, yet my quest grew ever strong to seek the pillars of wisdom and unlock life’s mysteries. How many miles I travelled I fear I do not know. All I can hope for is I find the answers before my body disappears into dust and my quest comes to an end. Always hoping that the pillars of wisdom near the gates of Hercules will never elude me before my last breath appears. 30 November 2013
