Caged

The heavens await
I continue my journey
Up I go
One step after another
Up I go

I step into the light
I look about
Thick cables above my head
And on each side

The world unfolds all around me
Beauty and fear hand in hand
I wonder and wonder …
Will I be trapped in the heavens?

The heavens must wait
I have more to experience on my journey
Down I go
One step after another
Down I go
