        A Staircase To Heaven



         By Lyan Isam Mushref



         At first                                                                                                                                                          POVSeph
         I was engulfed
         In a hazy suffocation
         The ghosts of my previous years

         Drifting in the air before me
         Leaving behind haunting watercolor trails
         Putting in place the dark brown rails                                                                                     My  name  is  Yousef  Ayman  Ibrahim.  I  am  an  Abu  Dhabi
         Of my deathly kingdom                                                                                                     University  student  at  Al  Ain  campus.  Currently,  I  am  in  my

         I walk around                                                                                                             second    year   studying    Mass     Communication       with   a
         Step after step                                                                                                           concentration in Media Production. I am very passionate about
         The thuds scorning the remnants of laughter                                                                               how the media works and I particularly enjoy content creation
         In the desolate air                                                                                                       and making videos.

         I believed I was the rightful heir
         Of the sky’s misery, all grey and bare                                                                                    The  main  purpose  of  the  channel  is  to  build  up  my  skills  and   Scan to watch
         Then                                                                                                                      portfolio  in  a  way  that's  fun,  exciting,  and  speaks  to  me  on  a
         A sheet of warmth breathed under my feet                                                                                  personal and artistic level. Taking on new and hard challenges is

         * A stretch of my imagination is this fuming heat                                                                         difficult, but it's something I always try doing. It always keeps
         Until out of the sky’s snowy patches                                                                                      things fresh and really encourages you to grow, as I have learned
                                                                                                                                   with my channel.
         A flight of milky doves latches
         Upon the fluff of every cloud                                                                                             For the future, my main goal is to try doing more media-related

         Resurrecting every touch or sound                                                                                         challenges — whether it be taking photos on a very old Nokia,
         That hid in my childhood cradle                                                                                           or making a full song using AI — but of course, with my own
         Conquering all that was cold and sable                                                                                    twist on things! Despite just being ideas for now, I can't wait to
         The pallor loomed off of my face                                                                                          see  where  this  channel  and  my  work  guides  me.  My  message?

         And seemed to softly escape from the room                                                                                 Have fun and do what inspires you.
         A trail of heather seemed to line my eyes
         Numbing their old, dark blue lies
         My chest rose up like a brand new pearl

         Exquisite dreams seemed to bubble and swirl
         A heavenly arrangement of sky waited for me
         A staircase to heaven it was, all bright and free
