escalating

photo credits: reymundo

I escalate to the top
almost touching the sky
the eerie blue light
hurl me into mystical place

my palm touch palpable vacuum
in those steps,
I spin like a top
in the holed ground

endlessly waiting for your smile
in the deep green eyes
when it finally shows
I become a beautiful chrysalis

    I loved this imagery. I could feel the depth of that smile as it reached those green eyes.

    The final stanza is a real beaut. " I become a chrysalis". Touching visual.
