Impressions and Reflections - 6. Poem 6: The Stairway

The stairway seems endless as I struggle to reach the top
Unfazed I am in my pursuits as I seek refuge from the dungeon below
Delicately I trod as falling leads only to imminent destruction
A new day will dawn as I reach the top and walk into the beautiful world

The stairway is a seemingly endless spiral for the disheartened
Unfazed are the perseverant as they march upward in pursuit of joy
Delicately they step up and around the maze seeking an escape
A new sense of accomplishment awaits those who stand the test of time

The stairway can be an enemy or ally for all who choose
Unfazed are the courageous as the weak-minded refuse to live in liberty
Delicately their hearts may be treated even if they cave into sadness
A new casket awaits those who will not escape the dungeon through the stairway
