Stairway

Inspired by Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven"

Each time it takes over,
I find myself one step higher.
Climbing that stairway,
That Stairway into Heaven.

No matter how much
I try to fight,
I'm pulled up higher,
Destined for endless flight.

Upon the whispering wind,
Are carried truth and sin.
These two words have a very fine line between
Because you know, words have two meanings.

Each time it takes over,
I find myself one step higher.
Climbing that stairway,
That Stairway into Heaven.

Each time it takes over,
I climb one step higher.
Climbing that stairway,
Up to Heaven.

Inspirational poetry from a beautiful song, I loved the flow, and the pleasant, uplifting feelings. I particularly enjoyed the last two stanzas, because they were unique, the way you made them sound similar, and yet so different. Flawless write, enjoyed reading.

Third stanza is masterful in its dark and light allusions. Loved it.

I sense it as lyrics but it feels way too short without the music to swirl within!

Great job Alex! I love the third stanza. Excellent job!

Interesting poem. It was so haunting, I could hear the beating of hallow drums in the background each time you took another step up.
Great poem. Great song.
