Twin Doors
TWIN DOORS
Twin doors of mind
always exist,
open and wide.
Entrance-Exit.
Feelings in mass
enter and sway,
stop or just pass
making way.
Joy of success
or to deplore,
both the senses
enter same door.
Entrance allows.
No need to knock.
Mind swallows
Just joy or shock.
Some are settled
in core of mind.
Love or hatred,
kind or unkind.
Some to sprout,
Some to persist.
Some to broom out
through the exit.
Some strongly hit
as they enter.
Before exit
leave ugly scar.
Nice feelings set,
not to quit,
stay permanent,
never exit.
