There is a site
that's hard to reach,
it requires exploring
where endings meet

Deterrents build barracks
for legions of fear,
forcing travelers 'round structures
raising gates as they near

The road and its lessons
temper over time,
knowing the length,
each corner and its wind

When the passage sees light
and a hope that's ahead,
apprehension lets go
the panic it bred

Everything that matters
is a strength in their eyes,
a prime sign of arrival
and promise in their lives
