BEAUTIFUL

Updating Antique Doors for Better Lock Security | All American Locksmiths

and in my meditation wanderings I arrived at an antique door quite unique it was a tall large carved wood door with an ornate knob and large keyhole it was really imposing there was no chime oh, where would this portal lead to was this the threshold to evil or the entrance to fantasy or the gateway to my uncertainty I would only affirm if I turned the knob and step through its opening I hesitated for I feared the unknown was apprehensive and suspicious in a quandary with qualms of uncertainty it would be chancy and risky my doubt was wavering I talked to myself you are strong, brave, adventurous go for it so, slowly with misgivings I turned to knob the door opened with a creak peering through the opening was the most divine, sublime tangled garden dripping with hued green and pretty bright flowers the smell was inviting a thousand birds singing come, come, come so, I stepped through and then back just to prove for sure that I could return how long did I spend meandering well, time stood still so I do not know but upon my return to reality I told myself do not hesitate with the unknown in fear carefully, thoughtfully always move forward with the certainty that all will unfold as it is meant to . . .

I hated to N/A this great poem, Constance. I was hoping you'd see my soupmail and blog before the 24-hour deadline. Good luck in my next contest. I hope you're doing alright, my friend. Peace and love.
