Wonderment

Wonderment



Gazing at the ivory white staircase,

spiraling high in the sky's endless place,

pushing up through the  clouds of soft marrow.

Widening the gap that was once narrow.

The sun lowers beyond the horizon.

The full moon, it's radiant glow shines on.

Earth being nurtured by a fine mist, soon

it temps the growth, at it's feet to full bloom.

Bowing at innocence and  grasping breath,

life blooms, then withers, meeting timely death.

Souls are cleansed by climbing the ivory

staircase, through the fine mist, unnoticeably,

the staircase may disappear at dawning.

A new life cycle begins each morning.
