Where angels tread
is where i long to be
with each step i see
that each is labeled into the stone
the names of the virtues
i learn to carry in my bones
With each step
i hear a sigh
Of relief?
almost as if each stair
lets go for me -
or their own Release -
and perhaps
Instead…
…It is i
Who exhales that breath
of unburdening
Feeling lighter with each step
that takes me higher
to where
The angels tread
is where i long to be
with each step i see
that each is labeled into the stone
the names of the virtues
i learn to carry in my bones
With each step
i hear a sigh
Of relief?
almost as if each stair
lets go for me -
or their own Release -
and perhaps
Instead…
…It is i
Who exhales that breath
of unburdening
Feeling lighter with each step
that takes me higher
to where
The angels tread
