Answer 2

This is from the poem, "The Ladder," by Katherine Berry

At last the ladder,

Which had been built

Slowly, Slowly,

One hope at a time,

Reached up

To the clouds.

And the dreamer

Began to climb.

And there

Moored at a tilt

A sculptured

Wooden dove

Contoured and fine

A lean molded swan’s neck

Meeting a swirl of

Blush and potential

Rests,

Serene and still

The ‘cello waits.

Beyond it,

An ark

Carried by the wind

Upon her majestic

Mantle

In search, through the rain

With two of each

To find a safe harbor

And she, at the table,

Observes the scene

Silence pounding in her ears

A thousand yearnings

Crowding her thoughts

Standing up,

Her mind is clear

Treading over where

She lifts

The sleeping animal

Straddles it,

Draped as a coat

Across its frame

Her golden hair caressing its neck

And with the bow

She knows so well

Draws deep from inside

The silence breaks

Like clouds before the sun

A trilleto graces

Her expectant audience

Of one.

At last the ladder,

Which had been built

Slowly, slowly,

One hope a time,

Reached up

To the clouds.

And the dreamer

Began to climb.
