“In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between them. There are doors”. ~ William Blake
These words from William Blake made me pause today. It reminded me of a poem I wrote with Ali Grimshaw’s writing circle.
The door to the unknown
opens and I walk through.
How long did it take
to find myself here?
Was it yesterday or
a lifetime ago?
How long was I standing here
for the door to open?
Or was it open all along?
Did I simply miss it
with the distracting noise
of life going on around me?
Or was it my imagining
of huge bolts and insurmountable
barriers blocking the way?
How much courage did it take
to find this portal?
How much trust to allow
the path to unfold
to where I stand now?
The door to the unknown
opens and I walk through.
There is no going back.
There is no answer
to the questions,
only the words:
thank you, thank you.
