The Door

"I open the door and cross the threshold of imagination”
To a world of new creation
Somewhere amid this serenity...
Dwells my eternity

"I open the door and cross the threshold of imagination”
Looking for my lost love ~~~~
As I sit beside the secluded cove
My mind smiles at the ray of inspiration

"I open the door and cross the threshold of imagination”
And the roses bloom and the daises smile***
As he folds me into his arms
The birds sing, the butterflies dance
As together we make music
For soon the day will break...
And the fairies will collect nectar
And our souls will sadly part
Until I open the door to sublime again
