Staring down Stairs

Spirals downward ending in a platform The end of the descent, the end of it all A way to silence the eternal storm Going out with one loud bang A hush goes through the passageway Not often one wanders through here All alone as I ponder the many days And which ones make it worth staying Would I sleep restfully if I took the jump? Or start everything all over again, and again Looking over the edge, in my stomach a lump Teetering over the rail, and back onto the floor Maybe there will come a time In the near, or distant future Where I will make my final rhyme As I stare down stairs for the last time
