The White Door

Long ago, in a dream of mine,
a recurring vision,
I beheld a white door.
An elaborate polished portal
surrounded by void.

My beautiful door,
dividing nowhere from nowhere
was a curious object
in the middle of the void.
It was quite strange.

Day after day I thought about
the white door in my dream,
and every night it was there again
to confuse me once more.

Long ago, I gave up on the dream,
the unanswered riddle,
and stopped thinking about it.
When I saw the door again
I closed my mind.

I know the meaning now,
of my lost dream,
that abstract puzzle.
For my dreams are empty
without the white door.
