Doors

Sometimes I wander through the halls of my mind...
Testing each door.
Will that one open today? Is that one still locked?

A scent, a sound, a glimpse of another time...
Takes me back in my life.
Wandering down the paths of my mind.

Do I have any regrets, is that wound healed?
Is the sense of wonder and awe still there?
Do I remember that flower, is it still fragrant and new?

Are my dreams still in color, bursting with passion and joy?
Do I find myself happy or full of sorrows this day?

Sometimes I wander through the halls of my mind...
Testing each door.
That door opened today, another memory set free.

wave hello! Your poem was wonderful! Life is one big or small door to have to open to grow spiritually and emotionally. I'm 56 years old and I've been through many doors. These doors represents all the decisions I've made over the course of my life. I've learned much and will try to stay teachable the rest of my life. Read my poem called "Asperations" This will give you a better understanding of where I'm comming from. Hope to hear from you soon....giselehandshake
