Magic Door

Time is a magic door…
opening to one destination as it closes to another.
When you wish to go back to where you started,
you open it to a new and strange place.

Sometimes this door will slam you shut into a prison cell,
releasing you when it feels your sentence complete.
No place is the same, their similarities preciously unique.

It may lead you in only to push you back out,
as though it had made a mistake.
When it seems to be in your favor
it snatches you back, to place you in a wilderness:

            Sometimes cold, dark and dry – hopeless
and dead.
            Yet other times, the wilderness unbefitting of it’s title:
            rich and moist, bright and warm.
            The breeze that flows in, cool, but never overwhelming –
            and far off in the distance, a field painted with flowers
            blooming in dance to the music calling
            all the rich in heart.
