Star Steps
If I could reach within myself and pull out my soul
a freed spirit on which wings grow
soaring high and pierce the blue sky
into the universe fly
the cosmos rhythm and rhyme
old and new as time
where whatever was or will be
eyes open for me to see
Star steps I walk upon
witness the birth of dawn
and dive into the abyss
a-washed in dusk's mist
twirl into the void
grasp the ladder with joy
ascend with wings unfurl
into the creation of worlds
Heaven could this be
I fall to my knees
and bow into eternal light
my soul glows forever bright
Paradise knowing all
I begin to fall
my wings fold and fail
into bottomless hell
with dark souls lunging for me
blue flames all I see
eyes closed in fetal position
swirling without direction
My screams make me awake
was it a dream or an escape
mortal man forsake
Star steps cannot take
is it meant to be
in the garden an apple falls from the tree.
