The Stairs That Lead To Nowhere

Steep and dressed in dark green leaves
Leading up to turquoise tinged skies
The stairs that lead to nowhere

I stood at the foot
And wondered
Long and hard and deep
What could await me at the top?

The stairs that lead to nowhere
Looked tempting, curious and welcoming
“Come climb me and see
The gifts for you I bear”

“A promise of bright skies and birds and fresh air
You will be happy and content.”
“Come take that first step”
Said the stairs that lead to nowhere

“But how will I know you aren’t lying?
Stairs that lead to nowhere
Could lead nowhere for me?”
“You wouldn’t know, you couldn’t see

Till you take that first step with me”.
