Spiral Staircase

Twisting and turning, all efforts for climbing.

Not able to reach on height,

It's so dull and lifeless on the sight.

But, the other staircase is shining so bright,

It's reaching to the sky and glowing with light.

I can feel someone peeping from the open window,

The smiling face, white hairs and eyes that glow.

Oh! those beautiful stairs are for the special ones,

Can I climb that and meet my departed loved ones?

So wish, I could jump and reach there just once,

So wish, I could just touch and feel them just once.

But, the thin fencing of breaths keep us separate,

We have to live without them, it's now our fate.

A touch on my shoulder and I just snapped out of my dream,

Those obscure stairs of life keep me climbing,

Blessings of elders will surely turn it into gleam.
