In response to Sue Vincent’s photo prompt – The Stairway

(In the style of Sufi poetry)
Frozen Steps
—-
Examine frozen
Find your rhythm
In the tapping of ice crystals
—
With your most foolish foot
Slide forward the sole
And feel the danger
In the deadly realm where
Blood and pain meet
—
And then
—
Disregard them all
In noble purpose
And, stripping fear back
To where no fall rules
Descend to love
——-
