Gert W. Knop Poet Prose Poetry

Staircase To Heaven

Staircase to heaven,
help me to find my way through misty clouds
and mountain tops,
where dreams are written into thin air.
A shy wind makes me read
those magic letters of love and fate.
The same wind which changes colors
of the leaves in fall.
I am the navigator through indefinite space and time,
through past and through future.
My dreams become memories
and memories change into dreams,
to drift away with light winds of desire.

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen October 25, 2009 at 2:53 AM Gert, The sentiments in this poem are captivating. I especially like the line, "I am the navigator through indefinite space and time," Those words make me think of Jesus Christ and purpose. When He navigates our lives, it has built in purposes. I never thought of that before. . . Your words are beautiful. Lovingly, Dane
