Space Ladder
Update: 2020-02-17
Description
Somewhere out in space, there's a ladder
If you climb all the way up, you can look down,
not just on the earth, or even the solar system,
but the whole galaxy
It's very high up there
But of course, directions like up or down
don't mean the same thing,
when you're in space
Staring back at the spiral arms of the milky way, you notice the whole structure is vibrating
And shimmering with a beautiful, silver glow
It feels good to be outside of the earth for a change
Because all the things you worried about there, are so far away
In the distance, you notice an object coming towards you
It looks a bit like a cloud
You realise instinctively,
this is your personal transport to the next level
Stepping aboard the space cloud
You can barely imagine what the next level will be like
Luckily, it doesn't take long to reach your destination
Of course, time works a little differently too
When you're in space
On arrival, your cloud ship dissipates
And before you lies the wonder of the whole universe
You expected it to look a lot more like a sponge, or a giant network of cobwebs
However, this universe is nothing like you imagined
There's a fireplace, a shaggy brown rug and a recliner chair facing away from you
On a small coffee table next to the recliner
is an old pipe, still smouldering
You walk towards the chair to find that it's empty,
which is the exact moment that you suddenly understand
everything there is to understand, in the entire universe
Then you disappear, and forget everything... again
