The Stairwell

by Aidyn   Jan 27, 2006


There is on1y a stairwell
Dividing thi2 seeming space between.
Remember that 3efore you take a step,
4he shining light isn't for you.
You ruined the incande5cence.
Would it have 6een waiting
To shine once and ne7er again
If you showed the desire and willin8ness?
Slow ste9s to your execution
Taking your steps 10 hell.

Taking your steps 10 hell,
Slow ste9s to your execution.
If you showed the desire and willin8ness
To shine once and ne7er again
Would you have 6een waiting?
You ruined the incande5cence.
4he shining light was for you.
Remeber, that 3efore you take a step,
Diving thi2 seeming space between,
There is on1y a stairwell.

Th0se who walk it never find the answer.

    Aidyn! this is the most introspective piece i've ever read from your collection - you've taken the palindrome form to highly refined heights. it all seems so carefully calculated (and the numbers are a nice touch). i may just have to wring your neck if you tell me it didn't take long to create. i could meditate on this all day!
