Skeleton Key



I found my hands were shaking
When I discovered the thousand keys
Running through an open landscape
Surrounded by a thousand unopened doors

I knew I had to find an answer
To a question I couldn’t formulate or clue
And all the doors they had a sign there
Saying “ The Truth Lays Here Beyond ”

But a thousand keys in my head were jangling
To the locks of a thousand doors
And I didn’t know which one of which
Should I begin to try them all

So I closed my eyes and danced my finger
With the eeny meany miney mow
Chose one door and just one key
And let it lead me to a maybe of what maybe the key will be

And to my surprise the lock turned and the portal swung ajar
So I stepped across the threshold to the truth, which lay beyond
Containing my anticipation of knowing the answer
To a question I never could surmise

But as the door swings closed behind me
I couldn’t believe the sight my eyes could see
A landscape of a thousand unopened doors surrounding me
And the sound of a thousand jangling keys

Seems I hadn’t learned my lesson
When I opened up the other one
Should I try my luck one more time
Pick a random door and randomize the key

Now you would think I would have surrendered
Thrown my hat and quietly walked away
Shrugged the confounding off my shoulders
And put it down to pointless futility

Of finding one lock
To fit a thousand keys

Every door had a sign there
Saying “ The Truth Lays Here Beyond ” 

I could have sat there and pondered the fortune
Of discovering another hopeless mystery
In a key full of landscapes  
Filled with the locked doors of my memory

How much time had passed before the question came to me
When I realized all I needed was just one single key
To find the truth beyond the doors
And the answer it was
Me

This is what you find
When you begin to open
This is what you find
Behind the lock doors of your mind

All the answers only have one
Inescapable truth that you must find
It really doesn’t matter
How you couch the question

The answer to the conundrum couldn’t be simpler
It couldn’t be more true
All the answers there are
Are already inside of
You
