The following poem was inspired by Sue Vincent’s #WritePhoto prompt…
The pathway of destruction is wide
And many are in route
The end looks like the beginning
And the beginning…
A cloud of soot
But the stairway to serenity is more than meets the eye
It spirals up instead of down
And lifts you far up off the ground
The first step is wide as wide can be
A simple task to catch a grip
But be careful not to stumble
As you take that second leap
The third step is a charm
You’re really going now
But the fourth is not so easy
A couple spills to bring you down
If you made it to the fifth step
What a mountain you have climbed
Just take a breath
And stay persistent
The worst is yet to come
The sixth is overwhelming
Then it’s seven, eight and nine
By the end
You’ll be exhausted
From all the wrong you’ve ever done
But the tenth step is your haven
You’ve already done the work
All you need is a little maintenance
to ensure you won’t revert
Eleven is the serenity
that you sought but never found
And the last is your Kingdom
with twelve stars upon your crown
I’ve added thi spoem to the round-up for the relevant week.
