The Door

Is it Open or Closed?

Janet Hunt
In front of me is a door

It is closed

Or is it open?

Has it been there before?

Do I go through

To see what lies beyond

Or do I stay on the other side

Safe in the confines of my four walls

If the door remains closed

I shall see no more

Of what lies in store

For those brave enough

To walk through that door

If the door opens

And I walk outside

Perhaps dangers lie there

Masking themselves as pleasures

I've been there before

Perhaps I'll find the warmth of the sun

Forgetting the cares of this day

The door is there

Is it open or closed?

    Nice, very metaphorical, I put myself through something like this quite frequently.

    one door closes, another opens, (if we let it)
