A wooden stairway

leading to Heaven

old and weathered

a silent progression

Vibrant and exciting

at the beginning

filled with hopes and dreams

far from the ending

Halfway up

still quite a climb

resting and reflecting

dreams still have time

Closer to the top

now in old age

leaving words of wisdom

like a sage

Turning around

one last time

appreciating the beauty

loving the sublime

Crossing over

peace and filled with love

young and eager

gifts from above

A new staircase emerges

time to begin again

excitement and joy

the journey never ends
