I had this very strange dream last night - not scary, but thrilling
Can't imagine what it means....
Behind me I can hear,
Something unknown hurrying near.
I press forward frightened to my core,
But oddly detached and waiting for more.
Then it appears in fog visibly,
A soaring ladder stretching to infinity.
I begin to climb to get away,
And the moment I descend, peace comes my way.
I climb and climb in a never-ending line,
Breathtaking vistas are mine.
I look down to see the greensward,
Blurred by distance, for I have soared
The ladder begins to disappear behind me,
Ensuring then lo, no-one will find me
Then I reach the ladder's brisk top,
And there I am brought to a abrupt, jarring stop.
And perched I must stay high in sky,
So I bid my farewell and take my goodbye.
For I am left there, ladder-suspended,
But my concerns and fears have mercifully ended.
