Where I Go

Where I go
no man has gone before
I can make this journey
bright
or I can make it
dull
at some point
I must pick myself up
and go, go, go
no one else
will do it for me
and long before
any praises sing
or the doors open
along the road
there I must be
struggling untold hours
to become
someone
true
with clarity of sight
a vision
for what can not be seen
acting
forming the foundation
placing the pillars
putting up the archways
laying down a roof
and setting in place
stones
to reinforce a vision
with clarity of sight
stones
no one else
will put there for me
stones
