The Road

Where have you made a road to-day? 
      Against the south or against the north
      in this region of the country  like a good
      pioneer?

     Have you traveled the hidden road
     to Purgatory out westward from here
     or the unseen road to the unknown future
     maybe even the undiscovered one to happiness?

     How about the road out yonder to reconciliation
    which requires courage and concession 
   along with possibly stepping out of your
   comfort box?

     Take your pick and take the road
     keeping in mind that sometimes
     they all connect at some point
    unknown
