Unknown

I am opening the new unknown door
With curiosity: What is behind it?
I ask myself: What am I looking for?
And I go on and on, and I can’t quit.

There’s no-one to give me a helping hand.
The creaking door only breaks the dead silence.
I have nor excessive wish or demand,
Things will shape up well, I must be patience…

This door seems to invite me: “Walk into!”
So I cross the doorstep with heavy heart;
I know: I begin everything anew,
And I fear, and wait for the new start…
