Look! Is that a doorway hidden in the stars?

Look! Is that a doorway hidden in the stars?
Where do you think it goes?
Maybe to the heartbeat of all life…
Maybe to the place where all is written…

Doesn’t it seem exotic and fascinating?
I bet it is safe from the tears of pain…
Wow! Look at those welcoming, sparkling flakes stretching in all directions…
Smiling back at the horizon.

But, I can’t always see it…

Often thick clouds block the corridor…
With lightening bolts of shame and guilt…
Turning it into musty tones of grays and blacks…
Causing the light to narrow into shadows.

I wonder who is on the other side of that door…
There is an outline of arms stretch outward…
Yet the distance between us is much too far…
She whispers of a well-worn path.

She tells me the pathway is a pathway of kindness…
It will free me from the tangled banks…
Yet the invitation says I need a second for the party…
Come, there is room for one more.

I love you,

Annie
