Ladder

"The meadow awaits and the ladder beckons. The rugged leads to the flowery"
                Quote_ by Poet


It beckons on me,  
I go up,
Oblivious of what I'd see,
The unseen hides along time's corridor.

With each step I take,
I plunge into my shadow,
I don’t view from outside my window,
I'm what my hands make.

The higher I climb,
The unknown unfolds,
I'm faced with opposing clime,
I'm held by hope.

I see meadow miles ahead,
This awakes me from my despondent bed, 
I climb through my turmoil,
Parting the darkness.
