Elevator
Take me to the arms of the paradise above
The one never given an exact name because human words can never carry the weight of this place
It may never even have been a place
Where wandering spirits roam without maps
No roads taking in the heat of the sun and no stoplights and pedestrian lanes telling you where you should walk and when you should run
Where being lost is being right at home
And, if it is filled with too many spirits

Elevator
Take me to the core of the Earth
Where no spirit dare go
Maybe there is a paradise different and the same
Where being lost means being found
Where left equals right and right equals up then down
Where roads are all there is, stoplights and pedestrian lanes in every corner
But no vehicle around
Maybe this place is "heaven" underneath the crippling earth's empty lungs
Hidden with details of the land as its crown

Elevator
Take me there
To where no one is around
To where I can find what once was found

Elevator
Up and down
Left and right
Round and round

A journey to the place where loneliness is honored. I think you might find that the elevator goes not up/down, left/right, but inward. Thanks for the ride. Enjoyed. ( : O )
