Stairway to Heaven
The stairs rise toward Heaven
cutting through a field of emerald green.
The temple is an immense gray fortress.
The stones are still stained with blood.
It is a reminder that rituals
are of human origins.
In this place, the grass and sky are holy
and every step is a rung on Jacob’s ladder;
The footsteps are the pilgrimage;
a sacred journey of the soul.
The burden of the steps is the true sacrifice,
the one that merges the Soul with heaven.

Heaven is one step away. One step. One step towards the light. One step into the future. One step towards a loved one. One step on a short journey. One step on a long journey. One step around the world. Sometimes all we need to do is take a step.
