Not The Stops

The stops along the way
are sometimes those envisioned
And often so far below
But the journey is not the stops

The stops along the way
shine glorious when working
And demand they be never a way any else
But the journey is not the stops

The stops along the way
bring darkness on all when failing
And demand they be never ever that way again
But the journey is not the stops

The journey is the journey
Your strength is for the taking it itself
The journey is the journey
not the stops along the way
