Life is a spiral staircase,
Which ascends up towards the sky—
Every day we take a step,
Learning more as time goes by.

Sometimes I want to sit down,
And not go any higher!
But always a helping hand
Has come to bless and inspire...

But this staircase has no rails!
There’s nothing to hold on to!
Could there be a guiding hand—
Lord, am I to hold to you?

There are tears in my eyes
As I’ve come to realize
The step I must take today,
Has to take me far away—

And my friend, it divides us,
I must say goodbye for now—
But, my friend, I’ll be around,
Though my hand is to the plow,

I’ll see you on a higher step,
When God binds us once again,
If not here on earth someday,
Then in the New Jerusalem!

Enjoyed your thoughts...I usually think of life as taking a journey on a path...and sometimes we walk on the right path and sometimes we get on the wrong path...and sometimes we come to a junction and these are times of choices and hopefully we'll make the right choice...James

For some reason, Jacob's Ladder came to mind when I read your poem. I enjoyed your words.

A voice of honesty

more than voices
   of flattery

Life...
A journey untold until you experience
the moment
the time
the thought
the feeling
the sight
the touch
the notion
the clearing of everything around till your sound with yourself

The whole galaxy around you..and you the center..not me..but you.
The created deserving of the creator's love..constantly seeking him.
