The Great Winding Stair
The Great Winding Stair............
To the galleries........
Above and below
For, the stories on each stair.............
More magical than the last
Tales from ages past.........
So many to tell
So far to go.............
The spell
The children flock...........
To the Great Winding Stair
For, much is there.........
The Enchanted Ones,
climb to the top,
and open the lock
The locks of the heart.............
Opened on the Great Winding Stair
The stories to fill you.............
with flowers............
magic............
and stars..........
the faeries too.........
The heart laid bare
For The Great Winding Stair,
cannot go up.............
Cannot go down
Yet.............
It is there
The stories it can tell........
tTe stories found...........
Leaving you spellbound
The stories bound......
The stories dwell.........
Tiny flutter of tiny glowing lights...........
Upon The Great Winding Stair
Magic cast.....
Tales to last..............
The twisting flights
On a Great Winding Stair.........
That cannot rise
Nor, go down.........
The steps are there
The laughter of children so.........
On The Great Winding Stair
Chasing tiny glowing lights
Listening to tales from long ago......
Running up the flights
To take yourself there........
A touch of handrail
The story trail
A castle tale..............
From long ago
The Great Winding Stair
Opening the heart so
