Steps Poem by manaswini dash

Steps-
I cherished to climb up-
one by one
To reach the top
With a great hope-
To see the morning of billowing cloud,
To know and feel the world around.
I thought-
they will lead me
to the brighter days of my life.
The days to cherish,
The days to dream of hopes and beliefs
and to share with those I love,
The days to look forward with excitement-
to a future filled with possibilities.
So I climbed up and up,
Days after days
Alone singing my songs of childhood and youth
But alas!
When I finished climbing the steps,
I noticed with surprise
That instead of sun
The moon has arisen.
