what is a thought provoker?

 
 
the side you must clamber  
the ravine you scrape through  
the cliff you knot ropes down  
the abyss you retreat from  
 
the boulders that crash loud,  
and you quickly side step  
the lava that spews forth,  
which you flee without pause  
 
the valley so peaceful,  
its waters flow and soothe  
the shelter that affords  
you a place to call home
