Where Are They Now?
-----------
I found it in a clearing
Buried deep in the old forest
The walls still standing
The roof sadly sagging
Windows cracked, shattered
Door forced open and vulnerable
Strangely inviting me inside
I felt a thrilling tingle
Something abandoned
Something unexplored
The sun was high in the sky

Twisting and swaying
Beautiful and threatening

Some Doors
------

Some doors
Once opened
Can never be closed
Some choices
Once selected
Change you forever
Some decisions
Once made

---------
Feed me bitterness
So life may taste sweet
Show me ugliness
So I may see beauty
Bring me suffering
So I will know pleasure
