Thresholds Poems - Poems about Thresholds

There is no destination, only thresholds that dissolve the moment you step through

There is no destination, only thresholds that dissolve the moment you step through,
And horizons that retreat with each step that brings them closer, a play of shadows and light,
To chase completion is to pursue a mirage, a cruel alchemy of longing and illusion,
Where dreams intertwine with reality, and time slips through fingers like sand.

Thresholds

One last Carolina Wren
jabs and hops
inside a shrinking ring of pale sunlight.

At the white door of a cold season
the wind dresses a scarecrow
with the spiny feathers
of the already dead.

Ice scabs pockmark a creaking earth.
A green legend
sinks deeper with every sunset.

We walk in our pockets
hands clasping at the blood-heat
of secretive shadows.
Boots tread through the sludge.

The Thresholds of Tomorrow

The Thresholds of Tomorrow
David J Walker

It is 1959 and 
the television 

is my constant companion
Comforting me during breakfast

Praying at noon over meals
Saying good night before

Turning out the light sparkling
Over its ghostly screen 

	Flickering gray & green 
Retreating into infinity 

Speaking of the expanse and
The advanced enhancements 
Of 1960 

When new math counts life by

Thresholds

Jesus said, “I Am The Door”.
He said it in a lots of ways.

My pal Morty says
that the ‘door’ is just a metaphor,
and I thought: well dur!
Why would we need a door anyway?
We must be stuck in a place somewhere.

Jesus knew we all needed a door,
I don’t think he was talking about death.

The other night I

Thresholds- a Collaboration

"THRESHOLDS" 
By Robert J. Lindley & Edlynn Nau

I. Plow Your Fields, With Love Of Nature In Mind

In darkness seek light, in pain seek relief
when weak seek might, strength lies in true belief.
When harvesting crops, thank the fertile ground
if you are faithful, let your trumpet sound.

Plow your fields, with love of Nature in mind
with love embrace

Thresholds of You

Ahhhh, here I stand
Once again upon the thresholds of you
With a haste of one chased, I cast open a door
Eyes searching, soul reaching, tongue thirsting for
The depth of you

The immeasurable, unfathomable, cool waters green-blue
Washing over the parched angles of my being
Mouth agape drawing breath to feed a heart now freeing
This breeze across my spirit slaked
