  Beyond the Door

Beyond the Door


My sunshine skips
On clouds all day,
Raindrops no more.
Summer rays.
Take my breath away.
One step here and now.
The other step forevermore.
The Future is not to know,
What is beyond the door.

Yesterday's whisper
Echoes in the breeze
Feeling the chill air today
Those who wonder aimlessly
Are likely destined to freeze

Rows of cheerful flowers
Light up my deary eyes
Either side of the path
Brilliance in each coming display
Perhaps a spring in the step
Was lost with no such surprise

Lacking waking thoughts
Not a lasting dream
Who are we to question
Maybe it's not too late to scheme

Asking for the moon and stars
All the lights in the black sky
And venture a guest that might be

Bounce about many worldly sights
Let your imagination loose to feed
Tomorrow is a leap of faith
A mark to be yet cast in stone
Clearly without any step saved
Just the skills that need to be honed
