"Through the dark to spark a star"

Transcendental Sonnet #1452: When I am Gone Up where the stair winds on and on Where the step at every turn There where I go when I am gone Is to die for but to learn Mine is the first step mine to take There aspiring through the air Where only fire fulfills desire Mine the journey mine to make By the waters of earth through fire It is far but not too far Forever but for everywhere Through the dark to spark a star Up where the stair winds on and on Where I go when I am gone +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
