Poetry list

ajar

the light seeps
through
the door is not
fully closed
there is a beam
a shaft of hope
that beckons
invites
even welcomes
to where we
cannot see
fully and
whose life
seems separated
do I push
or pull
hope or struggle
accept or challenge
to cross the
threshold
that is always
there
this is the
nature of
truth and
reality
partial and
whole
relative and
absolute

the one
who is
abundant
thrilling
newness
throws open
one door
and whose
hand turns
the lock open
on all
others
