Open Door

An open door may say come in.
A shut door says stay away.
Shadows and ghost go through shut doors.

If a door is shut, and you want it shut,
why open it?

If a door is open, and you want it open,
why shut it.

Doors say many things,
many doors say things.
Doors forget, but only doors know, 
what it is doors forget.



NOTE: Not my poem, once again for college, need some feed back on what it is that doors think.  Any thoughts, please comment.

The doors think everything, because they are symbols of the human mind. Minds can shut away something and also let things in as they please. The mind says what it pleases and also may forget. As for the ghosts and spirits, it may be how easily the past comes to mind without being pushed away. -That's my take on it. Hope I helped. :) Always, Laura
