Open Door

Glow from slight open door shining my way
casting a long shadow of me behind.
I stand alone and think awhile, midway;
glow from slight open door shining my way.
Portal crossed, shadows fall the other way,
as does the light. The choice is ill-defined.
Glow from slight open door shining my way,
casting a long shadow of me behind.

Terry you are amazing! I tried and tried and gave up. I just couldn't get my head around a triolet. Yours flows so well and makes sense! Well done.
