Where To

Where to if not for I to be lead?
Following the under toe of the weather and climate
Where to if not for I to lead?
The distance I have never seen, beyond my current reach
Where to if not for I to be?
A being of pure honesty and enlivening free speech
Where to if not for I to live?
With the constant remembrance of inflicted loss
Where to if not for I to see?
Each and every color that shapes shadows all around me
Where to if not for I to be light?
A pigmented fragment of prism attempting to fight
Where to if not for I with my thoughts in my mind?
Guiding not my own towards a more great design
Where do I lead to follow? Where do I follow to lead?
For a opportunity to witness my dreams
Where to if not for my rights?
To give my own life

Thank you for taking the time to read and comment. That line was a magnificent breakdown of the visual concept when it comes to the light spectrum. Have a great day!
