Turn left,

Turn right.

Door here,

Door there.

One moment,

you're stuck in a cave

with solely one way out.

Next,

an exit becomes an entrance

to a world of mystery.

Why did you wait so long?

For the day

has turned away.

Vast expanses no eye can see,

Let alone believe.

Step one,

Step two.

See the sky,

Hold the ground.

Should you wait

for the changing of the day?

Or move onward,

chasing every light?

East to west,

West to east.

Time will appear

once it disappears.

Look forward,

and keep on.

For the night seems

ever so long.

© Carollynn G., Hawthorne, NY

"Sometimes God closes doors because it's time to move forward. He knows you won't move unless circumstances force you to.
