Seas of fire line the devils home Lava splutters, spits and bursts Eruptions fill this hell unknown But upwards must we go Glowing embers and flickering flames Dancing shadows parade his cavern Stalagmites and stalactites Like needles in this Satan’s tavern But upwards must we go Rock still steaming from heat below Fissures sigh relief of pain Earth’s layers red and rusty brown Seek the light but years in vain But upwards must we go Inky blues as dark as night These depths that life will never hold Ripples swell, and surge and crash Foaming surf laps at gold But upwards must we go Luscious pastures greet the eyes Waves of green cascade the hills Oak stands proud, surveys this land Mother nature provides at will But upwards must we go Concrete grey announces ownership Dull drones wander lost in herd Polluted chokes splutter endless misery Colourless routine drains life of word But upwards must we go Looking down upon the grey-stained rainbow Horizons of blue stretch beyond life’s ceiling Free and weightless, soaring swoops Gusts and breezes whoosh with feeling But upwards must we go Marshmallow fluffs float like pillows Inviting, offering rest well deserved Fresh peace the tired voyagers prize This bed has been forever reserved [comments] => 1 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 21 [informant] => stuart_wilson [notes] => [ihome] => 1 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
