Poem
"Doors and windows are portals of mystery. What secrets do they hold?" quote by poet There are moments when I'm alone that I hear a loud ringing tone in my ear just before a new portal appears in my vision. These things that are being revealed to me, I fear if I should openly speak of them, would cause derision. I dare not admit to having seen faces staring back at me through a portal door. There were crescent moons in strange places and dark caverns that led to... I know not where. But I heard whispered conversations I could not ignore. Some opened that I wanted to close, in anguish that if I had ventured nearer, something eerie would pull me in, so I froze. I glimpsed portals of darkness, some of clear light and one from which came demonic laughter... a fright! Portals quickly slam their doors shut when I seem a bit too interested in what I beheld. Clocks whose hands spoke instead of simply tocking. I couldn't look away and watched as if I was compelled. A Quantum opening to another realm held things shocking! Not all of them gave me pensive feelings. In one, I saw through a stained glass window; rooms of furry white animals who nodded at me. There were exotic plants growing from the ceilings, and I heard waves crash on the shores of a restless sea. Several opened for me to see pastel skies filled with all sorts of birds, flying in great flocks. Each time a new portal opened I hoped it wouldn't make me feel as if I was peering inside Pandora's box. I can't pretend they don't exist... and perhaps I shouldn't. One day I may have courage to step inside a portal that opens near me. One I wouldn't fear. If I'm not able to return, some would suspect I died. I wonder how long before I'd be missed if I just disappear. I should give it more thought before I enter the Twilight Zone.
