Crystal Stairs


Crystal stairs, "Where will you lead,
offering steps in our time of need...
a luminous path from here it seems,
a crystal spiral of lucid dreams?"

Unlike crystallized memories destined never to grow;
you call us toward a future beyond what we know.
Like footsteps heard faintly in ones ear.
A journey of remembering held so dear.

Beyond imagination in a forgotten land,
crystal climbers reach out with a loving hand.
Lifting our hearts like magic it seems,
this staircase of crystal truly is made of dreams.
