21 steps

21 steps
marshes all around
leaves ruffle
as he tiptoes down

birds chirp
every pore on him
drink in the morning air
never knew it would flatter to deceive

he leaves the place
looking for more
hoping for more
settling for less

he knocks on the door
strange there was no sound
push the creaking doors open
'cause there was no one around

21 steps beckon
all that shone through
but a glimmer of light
dimmed with the descent

step into the place
down, darker
grey, grimmer
his heart screamed

he stays
hoping for more
never getting there
unsure of anything anymore
