[bodytext] => The Winding Stairs Of Tomorrow Climb the winding stairs of tomorrow And leave your heartache far below. The past is lost so let it go. Come to the gypsy and let her show You a future you want to know. Each rung a frozen tableau of time; Hand over hand one ascends Pausing at every juncture, no rhyme Or reason, no chance to make amends. Climbing ever higher ever more painful. Come gypsy, I dare you show me more For I have to face my inner fears. So I pause at each and every door No matter that they offer tears And battered, bruised I climb for more. What strange form of masochism is this? Yet taking stock I forge ever onward. I want to feel a quick and fleeting kiss So I speed my pace and hurry upward To reach a better door, a hope, a prize. Eventually I reach a perch atop my life And stare aloft into the distant sky. Up above I know that I will have a wife Yet no stairs reach this spot, but why? I sit and cry realising the unholy truth. No matter the course or the choices I make. Why oh why Will I persevere, get so high, so close but surely die.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
