There is comfort in the creaking of the stairs

There is comfort in the creaking of the stairs.

Each creak guiding, reminding you of your place,

Between the rise and the run,

The rhythm within the space.

There is comfort in the creaking of the stairs.

Thanks Ray. How's that? (I can't remember if each stop (Period) was like a "Step" taken originally. Today I agree with you.

A very nice idea this 220 A. You are kept in a state of suspension while ascending. With respect I preferred not to have the full stops- although on second thoughts just lose the ones after Runs and Space, so as to get a sort of stop - go sense. Or play with it - or totally ignore me whatever. Just an idea !
