To Consider a Difficult, Uncertain Thing

There's a path already walked that leads to 
Water and sustenance (metaphorically, 
Perhaps) while there are directions which 
Whisper that there may be better horizons 
From the far away mountains, a beautiful 
Angle upon the sun and its children, while 
It may also be a land of tundra and desolation 
With a language unknown and food indigestible 
Far be it for predictions, but should there 
Be people, even the frigid desert carries 
The necessary alongside the brilliant 
And there is no uncommon ability 
Needed to become one with anywhere
