Step outside

 

The world we create for ourselves

is often small, narrow and confined

We need to branch out and go further afield

to explore, to taste, to leave our place

The landscape is rich and varied

it can be a challenge to embrace

From our comfort zone we can fly

as far as the sky or eye can see

Distant sounds and strange tongues beckon

New cuisines and cultures quite unreal

The door is not locked, just lift the latch

a few steps and you will be there

It will transform you and may even change you

but only you alone can take the risk
