Poetic-Verses-Awakening Spirits and Memories
opening doors to dreams
I dreamt last night
of walking, it never seemed to end
every time I thought it had
I'd reach another bend
and all along the way
there were doors to open
each and every one of them
a question I had to say
you were there
travelling with me in my quest
a partner to accompany me
and always you seemed to test
usually it is you
who leads the way
but in last night's dream
it was me who held sway
we travelled on throught the night
not resting nor recess
continually searching
for a way out of this mess
we stopped to eat
a veritable spread before us
But Sunday closing
meant we went without a treat
canteens full of every kind of food
soups and slabs of gammon ham
pies and pastries all on show
but the taste of them we didnt get to know
so onward with our journey
hungry tired
but excited too
at what the path held out for me and you
opening doors
to look upon a winding beach
too far off
just beyond our reach
golden sands stretching
on into the night's eternity
Such a simple step out
but a hard one for me
distances provoke me
and urge me forward
sometimes I wonder
whether I should travel on
those doors are ever a threat
it is like they hold a bet
'open me and you may win
leave me closed and you'll
never get in'
you encouraged me to go through
but in the process I got lost
for though you wanted me to go
something was holding you
so each one of those doors
I open them all the way
in the vain hope
I'll reach you one day!
