Bay 7

She has a Stairway
Rising Up out of the Depths
of her Soul.


I've seen it in Her
from the Very first day
I laid Eyes on her,
in All of her Beauty.


Some days she Hides these Stairs
from the World
And her Self.
Some days only a Few Rise to the Top
of her Surface.


This Step-Wise Path
To the Sun,
To her Own Beauty
and Strength
Cannot always Contain Itself.
It has an Energy all it's Own.


But Afraid She remains;
As Those of this Land
have Trampled all along
These Steps.
Attempted to Use her Uniqueness,
Her Life-Force,
As  stepping stones
From the Lack of their own Self-Worth.


But her Nature is Love.
And She Bares them
As Long as She can
Until, Finally, She Fills up
With the Waters of her Tears,
And Floods those Stairs once more.


There is a Stair Way
Rising Up out of the Depths
of her Waters and Soul.


I Will Capture those Stairs
For Her.
Capture them in all Their Beauty.
So that She May See Their image
In the Awe in Which I BeHold Them.


There is a Stair Way
Rising Up ...
