Paul White Poet Rhyme

the spiral staircase

 
I am on a spiral staircase high up in the air.
With no idea where it is going, but the staircase must end somewhere.

So I started down the spiral staircase, going around and around.

Walking forever downward, but never getting closer to the ground.

As I walk down this spiral staircase, my heart begins to race.

With urgency to get down this spiral staircase, I have to pick up my pace.  

Walking forever, going around and around.

Daylight is fading into darkness, and I cannot hear any sound

It seemed I had walked for hours down this spiral stair. 
Forever walking around and around but not getting anywhere.

This walk down the spiral staircase has got my mind confused.

But I keep  walking downwards what have I got to lose?

I have walked for hours, and the end is now in sight. 

Where am I what will I find my chest is getting tight 

I HAVE FINSHED WALKING DOWN  THE SPIRAL STAIRCASE AND I am broken hearted 
Because at the end of the spiral staircase, I am right back where I started.
