The Upstairs Room

There's a room upstairs.

A band of angels standing before you.

Your gaze rises from its place near the floor to find,

Music, radiant music flows like a soft, warm breeze into your ears.

Pearly, opulent light streams from beyond the door,

The door opens.

Suddenly, just when you had lost all hope,

Is there anyone inside?

                                                           Knock,
                                                  Knock,
                                       Before entering the room upstairs,
                             Remember your manners now, and be sure to politely knock,
                                       To a beautiful place full of love and grace,
                                                           Up,
                                                  Up,
                                                  Up,
          Up,
                             Far beyond the silvery, star-laden sky
                                        Up,
                                        Up,
                                        Up,
                             Only ones who are invited are allowed to climb,
                   Do you see that ascending spiral of stairs? Look~~it's just over there.
                    Look beyond the arc of colors and through the morning mist.
