The man having walked such a long way to reach this point looks back and sees his footprints on the dust.
On some of the steps his footprints are but vague impressions as if he was light.
On others they are deep as if he were heavy.
He looks back and sees the birds beneath him.
He has traveled so far and yet he knows in his heart that it is only a short distance, that these steps they have existed since time immortal.
For so many besides him.
He looks skyward at the place where the steps seem to melt into the clouds of time.
He is headed this way.
Looking back he is dizzy for he is at an amazing height.
So many things.
He sees a child waving at him and rubs his eyes for he had thought these memories were gone.
That he had gotten over them...
That child was once him.
It was his sons and daughters.
It was his grandchildren, they existing here as well.
The winds wash over him and he recognizes them as change as they stir the dust and it shifts, he is obscured yet he remains tangible.
He touches his face and feels the wrinkles.
He has grown tired yet he has no choice.
He takes another step.
