Sometimes you find a picture that strikes you so deep in your soul that it captivates you for a very long time. That is the way I felt with this one ... so I sat with it awhile and I drew my own interpretation of it ... I didn't try to duplicate it ... I just tried to let it inspire me ... then I wrote poetry with it and let it speak to me.
Secrets of Spiral StaircaseRound and round I go up the stairs
Round and round I go down the stairs
Round and round I go one step up
up to the sun
Sharp blades of light
A golden explosion
I’m blinded by the light
Round and round I go one step down
down in the dark
Mystery and pain
I’m blinded by the night
Fingers of madness tickling my mind
I’m stuck in the middle
Of my own spiral staircase
Can't go up
No solace in the light
Can't go down
No comfort in the dark
O my soul ... I'm trapped
round and round I go
falling into the Heart of God
