stairway's art marked a heart part-thrived
inspired and dived onto the tracks at the back
and i laid to bridge the gap at the end of the snap
for speed and essence to relent as it sped and spent
sent on its way in a whirl of sound and singing miles
relent of the past.
find a truer way, fast.
yours is the destiny
of sailing without a mast.

This is for my sister, Mary, in dedication to her quite stunning painting that she did many years ago.
