Where may I go?
I dwell in the darkness of my mind
Seeking the truth of my emotion,
Hoping for the certainty of my heart,
Waiting for answers to my questions.
I may allow them to come.
I may allow it to choose.
I may search for them.

Where can I go?
I pursue happiness in the strangest of places
The eyes of a stranger,
The phantom of a past,
The memory of a boy.
I can ignore his invitation.
I can exorcise his trace.
I can cherish his innocence.

Where shall I go?
I see paths ahead of me
Each of which is abandoned,
Each of which is unvisited,
Each of which is untaken.
I shall revive its existence.
I shall follow its history.
I shall explore its possibility.

And live in each for the sake of...
Faith,
Love,
Goodness,
Life,
Mystery,
Death,
Eternity.
