Ladder To Paradise
Outmatching my expectations
I magically discovered a ladder, a ladder to nowhere
It’s truly possible or so I believed of my expectations,
I pondered deeply, do I have the necessary courage
To begin to climb, yes I’m deserving congratulations.
Rung after rung, I climb up towards I know not where
I feel trepidation and fear as my heart begins to race,
After another rung or two, I hold and glance around me
Convinced all I’ll find at the top is more open space.
I discover my determination and continue to climb
As I gaze upwards, all I see are fluffy white clouds,
Now I’m excited, surely there is more than empty space
There’s bound to be, or the ladder would not be allowed.
The surreal feeling of other worlds as I enter the divine
The airy cleanliness of the fluffy light misty blue sky,
I continue my trek onwards, upwards, rung upon rung
Climbing faster as I realise I will need to climb so high.
Finally, I view the top of the ladder, precariously leaning
What do you think — will it be bare sky…
