stairs are a disguise
misleading mindless slush.
At times,
stairs lead nowhere
and yet, unknowingly
climbing, edging on
we reach a place, some place -
the shallow emptiness
pervading our minds and souls.
Stairs,
not always a lead
to a destination,
the goal to fortune,
the love of our life.
Stairs,
a journey,
in sync with our meandering thoughts
landing us in the lavish passion of hell
or shoving us into the gentle peace of eternity...
