poem submitted to "Open the Door and Enter the World of Possibilities" poetry contest
Sara Kendrick, sponsor, May 6, 2026.
Open the door~ as Noah did when the long rain ceased, peering out at a world washed clean of fear, curiosity rising like the dove he sent to learn what waited beyond the flood’s hush. Open the door~ as young Samuel did when God’s voice brushed the dark like a soft-winged whisper, each call a threshold he stepped toward, heart trembling, wondering what truth might speak. Open the door~ as Mary did when Gabriel’s radiance poured into her quiet room like dawn, her yes a doorway flung wide to wonder, to hope, to the holy unknown. Open the Bible~ for Scripture is full of hinges and thresholds, each one inviting the brave and the listening to step into God’s unfolding mystery, where curiosity becomes faith in motion.
