Notes About The Poem

 

 

Open the Door and Enter the World of Possibilities Poetry Contest

PS Syllable Counter used for my poem.

Open the Door of Curiosity

Upon the threshold of the mind I stand;
grasping a latch of cold and rusted steel.
To seek the wonders of a hidden land;
Beyond the reach of reason’s stern reveal.

The golden key is but a restless thought;
A hunger for the truths we yet deny.
Through dusty halls, the ancient spark is sought;
To light the shadows where the secrets lie.

Then swing the portal wide on hinges bold;
Let strange and sapphire vistas greet the sight.
For when the spirit’s map begins to fold;
This narrow path shall lead to endless light.

Stay not within the cage of what is known;
For through this door, the seeds of stars are sown.
