Step after step
You can descend
Into the pale abyss
Covered so sweetly
In light, feathery mist
So old, are those steps
Having been there through the decades
Staying in their solitude
Almost never been touched
Their virgin essence
Is hindered not by any mere human
Or animal alike.
Away, those steps descend
Further and further into the unknown
Surrounded by sea
No land touches these steps
They are held up on their own foundation
Dependent only on their own stones
As they lead one down into the mist
The mist that is so light
Yet so heavy if touched by the wrong hands.
Here these steps fall
Into the dark and into the light
Here these steps fall
Further and further
Until they are no more.
