abandoned stair to nowhere
puzzle
once to some man’s dream
ponder
who marked this stair with
footstep
how many years have passed
forgot
they took their secrets with them
unknown
Loved it, Beverly, stairs are always in the spotlight for some reason. I am guessing that it is a short cut to what is above. Reminds me of some outdoors stairs that I fell downwards and broke a kneecap. We had to come home from an overseas holiday trek.

An intriguing mystery indeed! I like how your mini poem enhances the meaning of the whole.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the test Bev, couldn’t get my comment to post. Wanted to say excellent writing!
ReplyDeleteYes, there is a mystery in your poem. But where do they truly lead?
ReplyDeleteThat's the mystery! There is nothing left at the head of the stair to indicate what was there. It's all lost in time.
Deletemysterious and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDeep into the woods, the steps feel mysterious ... where do they lead? You captured it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteNice one, especially with that image!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was just a safe way to walk up the hill - but it makes one wonder. Well done on a tricky challenge!
ReplyDeleteI like the the mystery. They used to go somewhere, yet no one remembers just where. The stuff urban legends are founded on?
ReplyDeleteWonder where, a mystery-nicely done!
