Doors

"Many a door has to fall before a soul can answer God’s call"  - Belle Bellevue

My house has  two doors at the entrance 
One is a wooden door painted white
Other is a safety door with iron grills
They often make me ponder

God created world free for all.
Man created doors to safeguard what he owned
without realizing all belongs to God.
All was gifted at birth, 
will be taken back at death. 

We create a door in our heart 
where no one is allowed to peek.
We are scared
We wear a facade and roam about. 
We control our emotions 

If we opened the door of our heart,
became same inside out,
we would feel natural and lighter. 

Does the world need doors? 
Do jungles have doors? 
Aren't animals living happily without doors?

If we understood the reality of life
That God resides in heart of all
He is within all, we are within him
If our mind overflows with love and faith
We will not need any door at all

There are no doors placed on the planet, the only doors are those in buildings that are built. God created a globe free to roam, we make our own doors to our souls be they welcoming or closed

I like this metaphoric write "We create a door in our heart where no one is allowed to peek." So true!

Rama that’s a wonderful write, so good. It’s great when poets inspire one another, lots of my poems have come to fruition that way. Best wishes for Regina’s contest ~ Belle…… (Many a door has to fall before a soul can answer God’s call.) that quote just came from nowhere.)

Great thoughts to ponder, Rama, yeah, if we invite God inside our hearts, then no need for doors anymore:)

Very nice Rama, no finer wish left out in this poem. I'll leave the door open and light lit to find your way home. -Richard

No doors placed on the planet... Of course, no windows either. Yet we see... Food for thought, Rama. ~ Vision Airy

For sure; when God created the world he created it out of himself -- us, God -- we are inseparable. The only separation is when we close our minds and hearts to truth. Whatever happens to this world, in this world, to any individual, on some level of existence happens to all of us. Very well written my friend!

In an ideal world we wouldn't need doors but evil doers make them necessary. Good luck in the contest Tom
