the door of uncertainty

seemingly undeniable certitude and conviction handle hinges slats panels lock and key maybe a cat flap for escape towards illusions a trap door of revolving gates sometimes we are framed by cemented beliefs of what remains perspective and opinion seeking for external validations we fail to search for what is inside stay on the threshold of immobility minds need lubricating agents rust prevention or sometimes a chisel to determine what certainty is a conundrum delusion of impermanence which steals happiness and adventure of open-minded investigation there are moments however when we can crawl out of a window or simply break through walls self-made incarceration is futile and the chains shackling us are the ones we crafted ourselves

Dear Kai, Your words woven here in such a profound manner emanates wisdom and understanding, acceptance of what life is and consequences of all choices sometimes we make. Especially in lines such as “seeking for external validations we fail to search for what is inside stay on the threshold of immobility” the depth in those words as well as the ending with “ and the chains shackling us are the ones we crafted ourselves” one of those lines that needs to be framed! Couldnt have said it any better! Pleasure reading your poem! Best wishes for the contest! Thanking you also for my placement in your afterglow contest! Your prompts are inspiring and different! Sending you light alway
