Spires
The world is my oyster? Well that’s not enough
My mind is castles, with spires reaching up
They pierce the atmosphere and escape our insignificance
They are infinite, ever growing, changing, learning
They have morphed into the stars
The galaxy is their home, yet firmly rooted into Earth
Each floor is a new me, layers growing into infinity
Metamorphosis
I move along the spiral stairs, never tiring, I’m floating
There are no walls, just stars outside
They beckon me and I wave back
I know them all by name, I’ve lived here for so long
They shine for me and I dance for them
Their flickering is my beat, my song
These stairs are infinite and I want to keep climbing
It's never enough, I want to see more
Who would settle for an oyster when the ocean is still unexplored?
