21 steps
marshes all around
leaves ruffle
as he tiptoes downbirds chirp
every pore on him
drink in the morning air
never knew it would flatter to deceivehe leaves the place
looking for more
hoping for more
settling for lesshe knocks on the door
strange there was no sound
push the creaking doors open
'cause there was no one around21 steps beckon
all that shone through
but a glimmer of light
dimmed with the descentstep into the place
down, darker
grey, grimmer
his heart screamedhe stays
hoping for more
never getting there
unsure of anything anymore
