The Door
by SiriusOryon
I’m at the door
Threshold of forever more
It was not easy to get here
To refuse to be a hostage of fear
For though I want to know
Complacency does not want me to go
Take a step into whole truth
Leaving my past as moot
Life up until now has only been practice
A treasure hunt via my personal atlas
The inner map I was born with
Unseen truth more than myth
Once I enter there is no going back
Letting go of the false facade and act
Like death, but a change much greater
Expanding understanding beyond moon craters
Do I really want to know the truth?
It will cause my world to go ‘poof!’
Taking inventory I have not much to lose
But my freedom to gain and truth to prove
This door is hidden from sight and can only be sought
Invisible to the eye except when for freedom one fought
Though I’m here, I must still turn the knob and enter
Fully aware that the illusion of life will shatter and splinter
Nothing again will ever be the same
And I cannot go back the way I came
Thought it is said that truth is stranger than fiction
What lies behind this fateful door defies depiction
Fantastic descriptions few would dare to believe
Dwarfing the imagination of minds sorely deceived
Delighting the lonely and bereaved heart
Bringing an end to what never did start
So many corridors and hallways
The trap of a labyrinthine maze
The journey culminates at this door
To enter that which I have not seen before
The dawn of a new unknown
I’m ready for my mind to be blown
evocative & well written!
