Windows and doors
Are metaphors—
But also real
Gateways.
So: are Yours?
How open to change?
How closed in fear?
Do you throw them wide
When a friend
Comes near?
You can bar the way
And lock out
All storms—
But have you
Barred Chance in all
Its forms?
Are your windows sealed
To stop the rain
So tightly that
No light can gain
Entry anymore?
Is your door of steel
Holding off
New joys
For fear you’d feel?
Throw open the sash!
Swing wide the door!
Adventure is what
This life is for.

My pleasure!
A wonderful message, Kathryn, and I love the images…representing the variety of ways, the chances, the great and small openings, for keeping the risks and joys of life out or letting them in…
I certainly feel very pointedly the sense of all that in this first year of discovering such a wonderful world of fellow artists, writers, poets, bloggers and friends outside of my virtual doors and windows!
