About This Poem
Stairs in the Darkness
I see some sort of stairway in mid-air
Curious I approach the lonely stairs
They reach high enough that the darkness reigns
They are an indication of our lairs
There are homes at both sides of this stairway
A dark way up, it goes into darkness
The steps don’t go high but are still eerie
You must be crazy to reach the madness
Now I’m underneath the stairs that’s floating
I had to reach to catch the lowest step
I pull myself up, not knowing what’ll come
Slowly I feel the stairs move up with pep
They stop over a house not far from home
I ascend the stairs to battle darkness
I break the barrier of light to dark
Now I understand the purpose, to rest
To move to another realm that has hope
More than the dimension we live in now
Tremendous is the darkness, it has life
The steps are a blessing, others ask how
I take a little of the formed darkness
Love even has found its way deep inside
The stairs have brought life and love above all
Now I keep it all to heart, I abide
