For years I have knocked
on a closed door
Each thump was a plea,
A prayer from a fervent soul
My hands never ceased to rap-
Slam, hammer, and whack
At the threshold of dreams
I won’t let go
But years have passed
And the door remained closed
I should have gambled at the window
Which opened a chance,
A possibility of luck-
An opportunity
I mustn’t let go
In response to The Daily Post prompt: Window
I have finally decided to climb over the windows of my dreams if I can’t walk right through its door. HA! Is that metaphorically insane? *fingers crossed*
Sadly, this would mean I have to take a break from blogosphere for the rest of March and will have to miss some flash fiction/poetry prompts. 😦
BUT… I’ll be dropping by every now and then to read your posts. That’s a promise. 😉
Ciao! ❤ ❤ ❤

Great job. Wonderful poem about looking for other paths, when one closes to us. About realizing we’ve spent to much time trying to go down the pathway cut off, when there was a side road. Impressive poem.

You said it very well yourself, Mandi. 🙂 As the old saying goes, “When one door closes, two another more opens.” But sometimes, it doesn’t have to be doors we have to go through. There are also windows, no matter how small, that offers opportunity. (Ha! I sound like a burglar here) Thank you!
