Doorway

Can you see it?
Close your eyes and just imagine

A doorway beckoning
   whispering your name
   enticing you with sight and sound
   with touch and scent alluring you
   drawing you in with every step;
a mesmerizing hypnotic spell
   singing in the distant paths
   between the roses and the honeysuckle
   walkways lined with fragrant lilies rising
   trumpeting the journey through time;
an eternal spring
   bursting with new life, new sounds
   a garden for eternity
   ever in bloom, wafting perfumed dreams
   and memories revived of love and hope and dreams;
take a step
   then one and two 
   through the looking glass
   of all the promises made and kept
   here, safe within your mind and heart
through the doorway.
