Nov 2011
Open the door.
Step into the light of the world
and smile in the sun of renewal and rebirth.
Breathe in the breeze drifting through the blue
     And prepared to jump
Onto a path yet lightless and shadowed,
shying from travelers' eyes.
Into a river flowing fast and full,
its cool fingers unduly joyful and alive.

Through a star's shine and gloom
there burns a wish on the lips
and fingers hold limp on the handles
of pathways held in darkness.
Forever burns the flame idle
until the candle is melted and decayed;
until the mind and body show its reflection.

Open the door to the world.
Open the door to the life meant to live.
