Haiku and Tanka - 4. Doorways
lives drifting between
portals opening and closing
here and there, no end
Unlimited paths
forks untold, myrid of doors
hence, our lives unfold
Closed doors, no way out
turning, twisting, cannot see
darkness surrounding
cannot breathe, closing in tight
no relief in sight, help me.
portals to the soul
wide open with fresh wonder
a new born babe's eyes
rectangles, circles
in all shapes and sizes doors come
wide open and closed tight
open up a book
search, learn, discover, explore
open up a mind
Flung wide open - Come!
Enter me they beckon - See!
What we behold - You!
Opportunity
admission to a man's soul
seeds planted will grow
Two doors to pick from
Salvation or Damnation
walk the path you chose
wooden frame, creaky
hinges, ivy trailing up
both sides - but no knob
