Free Cee Step Brightly

STEP BRIGHTLY There are like these steps spiral steps that lead to somewhere or nowhere your destination isn't ever made clear it's a climb you must endure because there's only one cure and a distasteful one is that with a tip of the hat you begin to walk up whilst seeing a half empty or half full cup steps that seem forever long as you sing a sorrowful ballad and/or love song sometimes the lyrics lilt in the air like smoke from a chimney top or sometimes it's a raging rhythm that against your will commands you do the bunny hop hop from step to step going up a spiral staircase that is getting you to no place and all too oft it seems as if it were all an unseemly race those who finish are finished for real those who haven't finished yet are running out of fuel and zeal yet we keep our feet lifting up and down one step births a smile-another a frown you may meet some meaningful characters along the way “why hello, I love you,” the fellow travelers will say but their just as anxious to see where this staircase leads all recounting their wretched and selfish deeds and so we keep on keeping on while the anxiety is never gone and suddenly we realize that the righteous are ready to go beyond the clouds and the skies but those whose deeds caused them to live in a world of burnt sienna brown for them the steps lead deep and way down due to the staircase they will never be free poor perishable people precisely akin to me © 2012....copy write...PHREEPOETREE ~free cee!~
