The smaller doors

What waits behind the smaller doors
What hinges in the balance
Is the low frame made to force my bow
to shrink me enough
to measure down to your belief
Or is the smaller way made
to conceal my movements toward a greater self
To protect me from jealous eyes as I go
and to stifle the handle-turning saboteurs
Blocking their path
As I move along
Through lesser known halls
And onward out to freedom
I think these smaller doors may lead to both
and through both
Eventually

Does anybody know

Does anybody know why we remember
In dreams
In moments when we shouldn’t be dreaming
And before the fact
In Deja Vu
It’s as if the soul is so eager to see things clearly
That is scrambles away
In every direction
To get a better view

–

There, is Any One

There, is Any One
made whole
So full of magic
That they can’t sit idle
without their foot turning to gold
It falls asleep, you see
And when anything rests
dreaming
It is full of potential
And possibility
Maybe once the foot thaws and tingles
A sensation of sparkles
An unexpected movement will occur
Like a swirl of wind
A promise fulfilled
Or a dancing flourish of created fate
