when life interferes with well-laid plans
messages sent, are not received
when you plan carefully minute details
the stairs are seventeen, not thirteen
messages sent, are not received
windows open in the sky to speak
stairs are seventeen, you saw thirteen
you recount steps, miss calls from Heaven
windows open in the sky to speak
you’re busy counting odds and evens
you recount steps, miss calls from Heaven
How you failed – the mystery deepens
you’re busy counting odds and evens
when life interferes with well-laid plans
How you failed – the mystery deepens
when you plan carefully minute details

It’s definitely not an easy or structured ride.

Interesting receiving or not receiving messages from heaven while counting and recounting steps.

My first thought was to figure out the structure of the poem. With that behind me, I was thoroughly caught up in the idea of careful planning being an exercise in futility. Thought-provoking, Reena.

Numerologically challenging. Maybe there are really 666 steps

Difference being on the top and the bottom of the staircase can be learnt by this. Thanks.
