Fate
the sixth door is the best door
open it slowly and step inside
on your right you will find an ivory
table with three small keys
the keys are made of brass
shaped like a birds beak
take one of the keys
place it on your palm
and close your eyes
when you awake
if your sky is red you may
wish to return immediately
if your sky is green you may
wish to explore further
if your sky is blue, and that is most likely,
the next lines you read will determine
your fate
you have chosen, it cannot be undone ¦ you have chosen,it cannot be undone
your choice is that of the rose ¦ your choice is that of the mistletoe
you will travel on a carriage of glass ¦ you will bend with the breeze
you will find and lose yourself ¦ you will know peace and sorrow
you will see buildings fall and rise ¦ you will glide in light and in shadow
you will seek comfort in another’s arms ¦ you will see lovers from near and far
you will have your desire at the close ¦ you will forget all that you know
your path will twist like the S ¦ your path will roll like the O
