Stairway to Heaven

A stony path winds through the night,

Each step lifting the traveler closer to heaven.

 

At its end, the stones dissolve into light.

The dark shadows along the way

Are conquered by countless stars,

Transforming the arduous trail

Into a radiant river of fire.

 

In the dark of the night,

You must listen within

To hear the earth and and the heavens

Whisper a song of wisdom and hope.

 

The journey is more than a climb,

Through mountains and shadows;

It is an inward passage as well,

Leading you beyond,

Toward meaning and true light.
