Song is a Ladder of Diamonds
song is a ladder of diamonds
flung into space
we try to reach You on
every rung
and fail
song is a web of stars
we get lost in
a mist a drizzle of
music half-forgotten
when the prompting angels
fade from view
song is a difficult road
in a drenching rain on the way to work
and being on foot
with cars flying by
on either side, and people yelling
things out of the window at high speed
song is being kicked
down so many flights of stairs
and still, ascending
song is a place remembered
we can almost reach
but not without You-
this is my diamond.
song.
