The Door

Through the window of my heart,
I can see it.
If only I were to step outside,
Beyond the door that’s locked before me,
Keeping me from moving any further.

There’s liberty there,
I see it now, but I cannot touch.
Cannot taste of it savory flavor,
Cannot think of it beyond where it lie,
Beyond the door.

Trapped inside, my soul seems beyond repair.
For how can it possibly be rebuilt?
Only to step outside…
To taste of the fullness,
To be happy, if only once more.

Hope is the key. Splendid depiction of what many face in life when all doors seem locked.

They say time heals all wounds. And usually it does, only deep in despair there is no such light shining through. It takes time. Wonderfully written.

The key to that door, Mary Ellen, may well be
the challenge to be happy skillfully crafted in
these heartfelt lines of hope. -gene.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
