Stairway To The Skies

A dream.

Tear stained pillows

From the oceans of my eyes

As I reminisce in the bittersweet

Memories of a broken past

Where my heart is filled with pain.

Eternally broken.

 

I drift off, crying myself to sleep

As I begin to hear the faint whispers

Angelic soft voices

Calling out for only me.

 

I am hesitant, but filled

With caution, as I gradually walk

Towards the gentle voices

To be met with a secret door

That I so abruptly open.

 

A golden path stands before me

Above, the clouds are dark and grey

But filled with a bright light

As the sun beams like a rainbow

Ribbons streaming down.

A stairway in the skies appears.

 

I climb, high above

Into the clouds where I finally am

At peace and pure serenity

As I stare below at the human world.

 

Lost loved ones, with wings

Comforting me and fill me with hope

When in my mortal body,

Beneath the clouds, I was so alone.

 

A golden gate, beauty

Around every corner

Every dream has come true

And stands before me from up here.

 

I never want to awaken

From this dream of serenity

In my stairway to the skies.

beautifully written, in line two i think the word crying might be redundant, tears imply crying, and also restating tears might also be redundant. consider something like "from the ocean in my eyes" or "flowing from the ocean in my eyes"

A place of curious mysteries, where the clouds weave the forms and shapes that best comfort us. A place of magical wonder. A poem of hope.

[Coyote Poetry]

A beautiful and hopeful poem. I like the description and the destination. We need to have hope and dreams of a good place for us to rest one day. Thank you for the outstanding poem.
