Stairs

You've reached the top, so
                                                           there's nowhere left to climb.
                                                      Enjoy the mountain view now
                                                 for there's a shortage of time.
                                            With every step you take,
                                      tread gently and stroll long
                                  for bagpipes are awaiting
                          another moment's song.
                 Come down with graceful ease,
           like an eagle, gliding low.
     When you reach the sower's ground
there are mysteries below.
