Spires

The world is my oyster? Well that’s not enough

My mind is castles, with spires reaching up

They pierce the atmosphere and escape our insignificance

They are infinite, ever-growing, changing, learning

They have morphed into the stars

The galaxy is their home, yet firmly rooted into Earth

Each floor is a new me, layers growing into infinity

Metamorphosis

I move along the spiral stairs, never tiring, I’m floating

There are no walls, just stars outside

They beckon me and I wave back

I know them all by name, I’ve lived here for so long

They shine for me and I dance for them

Their flickering is my beat, my song

These stairs are infinite and I want to keep climbing

It's never enough, I want to see more

Who would settle for an oyster when the ocean is still unexplored?
