Staircase Of Roses

Staircase Of Roses

by Paul McCann

When I was a child I climbed up the stairs

to a room thirty feet in the air

, I met a lady who was waiting

For me there, with a  beautiful thought ,

she brought me gifts of  The mind ,

so I smiled and said thank you  to her ,

On a staircase of roses I walked in the light

that was  beautiful in everyway ,

where there was no morning or evening time there

and night time was as bright as the day    .

There were men with dreams on TV screens

that seemed to end in the blink of an eye

then coming through the clouds ,

the moon turned red

and the stars fell down from the sky    .

On a staircase of roses I walked in the light

that was  beautiful in everyway ,

where there was no morning or evening time there

and night time was as bright as the day    .

On a staircase of roses ,

the lady said to me

that the world had come to an end

and we all had to go to the top of the stairs

as there was no more time left to spend

On a staircase of roses I walked in the light

that was  beautiful in everyway ,

where there was no morning or evening time there

and night time was as bright as the day    .
