Half Way Down

I have used this poem before and these steps from a different angle but since I like both....

Reminded of a poem by A.A.Milne

Halfway Down
Halfway down the stairs
is a stair
where i sit.
there isn't any
other stair
quite like
it.
i'm not at the bottom,
i'm not at the top;
so this is the stair
where
I always
stop.
Halfway up the stairs
Isn't up
And it isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
It isn't in town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run round my head.
It isn't really
Anywhere!
It's somewhere else
Instead

Gorgeous with great textures. Love the poem. Makes me think of a metaphor in the book, “Angela’s Ashes” —the author uses the metaphor several times, “the angel on the 7th step.” It was a reference to hope. V

I remember this poem from my childhood and recall sitting on the stairs at my house and thinking about the poem. Thanks for the happy memory. Love the image too! V
