The ladder

 

How impressive the ladder looks from the bottom,

disappearing, as it does, into the clouds.

How those rungs invite;

how everyone encourages you to climb,


so you do.

And all the way up: yes, up, up, up

and, at the top, no more rungs:

space, just space;

they invited you to climb to a space.


Perhaps, I think, this may be Heaven;

maybe, set my molecules free 

to wander through Heaven.

Perhaps, the thought is Heaven;

perhaps such a moment is eternity.
