Kindling Courage

Warnings of death fade.
The conquest becomes alluring,
a grand adventure together.
You urge, “Ven conmigo.”¹
Acting on impulse,
we take the risk,
like Eve the apple.

You call, “너 내 동료가 돼라”²
Decisions are fueled,
cautious steps are taken,
and hearts pulse deep.

We watch for sleeping peril,
as we push on through the belly of danger.
Prende el fuego³.
We build a blue flame of determination.
Making our own history.
Becoming fearless together.
An engraving of our odyssey,
a galley of adventure.
Our courage burns furiously till the end.

¹ Come with me.
² Be my comrade.
³ Light up the fire.
