Adventure Seeker

M.A.D. Works

Adrenaline pumping through your veins,
Begging for something to happen, something to prove.
Can’t just sit and do nothing,
Danger is our middle name
Evading all that comes our way by the scrape of our teeth
Forging on from one adventure to another
Gaining friends along the way
Hoping the rush of adrenaline never stops
Ignoring the nay-sayers
Juggling the pros and cons with each choice
Kicking back and doing nothing is not an option
Leap into action, and an incredible sight will be seen
Mountain climbing, what an exhilarating adventure
Never miss any action if they can
Overcoming challenges as they come with no fear
Pioneer of their own way to find grander items
Quickening of excitement feel the air with each new adventure
Resting is not an option, for there is too much to do
Stamina is the name of the game.
Traveling the terrain to seek out what they seek
Uncharted water in every turn you seek
Voyage to new territories
Wondrous sites to be seen
X-treme activities now and then
Yearning for a new adventure daily
Zipline for when all said and done.

Whispers of Wisdom

M.A.D. Works

Consider every choice you make,
For every step, a path you take.
Embrace the light, let wisdom reign,
And from the past, grow free of pain.

In silence, hear the whispers clear,
Lessons learned will draw you near.
Amidst the noise, seek out the calm,
Let every thought be like a balm.

With every dawn, a chance to rise,
To leave behind the old disguise.
So look within, and you will find,
A brighter path, a heart aligned.

Feast of Shadows

M.A.D. Works

The sun blazes overhead, relentless as a frying pan’s heat,
Instead of nourishing, it seems to cook our very souls.
It turns our skin into a canvas, dotted with all types of moles,
The sun blazes overhead, relentless as a frying pan’s heat.

In shadows cast by flickering light,
A dance of flames, both fierce and bright.
Whispers linger in the air,
Stories shared, yet none to spare.

The warmth once felt now starts to fade,
In every choice, a price is laid.
We seek the spice of life’s embrace,
Yet hunger gnaws, we quicken pace.

Instead of laughter, echoes mourn,
In passion’s heat, our spirits worn.
What once was feast is now a guise,
A banquet lost beneath our skies.

Let us remember, as we tread,
To find the balance, not just bread.
For in the heart, where love can thrive,
The soul’s true hunger keeps us alive.

You can buy someone’s lost luggage

“The Unclaimed Baggage Center in Scottsboro, Ala. is the nation’s only retailer of lost luggage. The store has contracts with all the major airlines and buys unclaimed bags and their contents, only after there’s been a 90-day intensive search for the owner. Some of the oddest finds by UBC include a shrunken human head from the Amazon, a camera from the Space Shuttle, and a 40.95-carat Emerald appraised for $25,000. Today the 50,000 square store boasts more than one million visitors a year from all over the world, making it one of Alabama’s most popular tourist attractions.” 50 Weird Facts That Most People Don’t Know

Under A Spell

M.A.D. Works

I put you under a spell,
In dreams where we both wish to dwell.
With whispers so sweet,
Our hearts skip a beat,
In a world where our love casts a bell.

A Dance of Values and Peace

M.A.D. Works

I request that you stay true,
To the values that guide you,
May your heart be light and free,
As you dance through life with glee.

I request that you find peace,
In the moments of sweet release,
Let your spirit soar and fly,
Underneath the endless sky.
