Skeleton Key
I found my hands were shaking
When I discovered the thousand keys
Running through an open landscape
Surrounded by a thousand unopened doors
I knew I had to find an answer
To a question I couldn’t formulate or clue
And all the doors they had a sign there
Saying “ The Truth Lays Here Beyond ”
But a thousand keys in my head were jangling
To the locks of a thousand doors
And I didn’t know which one of which
Should I begin to try them all
So I closed my eyes and danced my finger
With the eeny meany miney mow
Chose one door and just one key
And let it lead me to a maybe of what maybe the key will be
And to my surprise the lock turned and the portal swung ajar
So I stepped across the threshold to the truth, which lay beyond
Containing my anticipation of knowing the answer
To a question I never could surmise
But as the door swings closed behind me
I couldn’t believe the sight my eyes could see
A landscape of a thousand unopened doors surrounding me
And the sound of a thousand jangling keys
Seems I hadn’t learned my lesson
When I opened up the other one
Should I try my luck one more time
Pick a random door and randomize the key
Now you would think I would have surrendered
Thrown my hat and quietly walked away
Shrugged the confounding off my shoulders
And put it down to pointless futility
Of finding one lock
To fit a thousand keys
Every door had a sign there
Saying “ The Truth Lays Here Beyond ”
I could have sat there and pondered the fortune
Of discovering another hopeless mystery
In a key full of landscapes
Filled with the locked doors of my memory
How much time had passed before the question came to me
When I realized all I needed was just one single key
To find the truth beyond the doors
And the answer it was
Me
This is what you find
When you begin to open
This is what you find
Behind the lock doors of your mind
All the answers only have one
Inescapable truth that you must find
It really doesn’t matter
How you couch the question
The answer to the conundrum couldn’t be simpler
It couldn’t be more true
All the answers there are
Are already inside of
You
Curve on the lips pointing towards the left,
purpose in concealing smile by theft,
fear concluding the tilt dutifully kept,
sheen so sacred for the humanly unkempt,
lie defeating truth and questions attempt,
to bury secrets and the joy when you wept,
need to monopolize the time which left,
madness and intensity thoughts forget,
dependency nurtured and eyes never slept,
fate divine and destiny inept,
an act occupied for the search to wait,
lie pities truth and puts on bait,
mysteries and lies famished minds ate,
faith and ego loneliness bates,
preference of truth gifted mind hates,
appetite for imagination creates,
remoteness from object who deject,
unrequited expression to the faces reject,
fables of a drunkard enthused by intellect,
memories alive must you forget,
innocent cries must they neglect,
euphoria weaved in mystery,
occurrence of mastery subliminally,
a beam frowning continually,
answers buried faithfully,
bluffs me entirely,
uncanny riley of a smiley.
