"Behind the red Door"

who'd dare knock
for behind's the unknown


a quest to muster the strength to see
oh it's not what you think
only what you feel
for the feelings good
the think is scarey
too close to the past
to be brought to the now

there's a window in the door
hmmm slight glimpse you'll see
blinds open one glide
eye to the glass
on the wall ahead . . . . . . . .
a mirrored eye from your side of the pane ~

It could be introspect...but it's scarey too!

now this will bake your noodle, If you are on the inside, looking at yourself, then are you really on the outside looking in, or the inside looking out, inside yourself? Very thought provoking poem, thankyou bentlee.
Bentlee

Bentlee,
Do we ever want to go through the door into the unknown, inside it or out
Rob
Bentlee
Truro why not, b4 every second we live we're venturing into the unknown :) cheers.
andrew149
well said my friend I was thinking something like that, time being fluid, we are truly always in the unknown.
Bentlee
It's between the know an the unknown that time does not exist. As far as I know it's the only time time does not exist! Bentlee
andrew149
that's the thing bentlee, we as 3D beings have "invented" the concept of time to enable us as 3D beings to understand and make sense of the universe as we see it. It is the brave among us that leave that concept behind .....and....step out.....to a place that is not of this dimension and with open mind learn to make sense of it. two souls or spirits although always leading their own existance, once met, are always touching in some way, in this way time, motion or distance is a redundant concept.
Bentlee
Book marked existance, when I start getting more time, i'm going to delve into quantum.
amahlala
Delve into quantum sounds like something you would do....
laugh
andrew149
Don't, it will tie you in knots, lol. worse though contrains the mind, rather than expanding it,what I am talking about is beyond even that.....
Bentlee
