When keys were not required
to open any doors
I received one, as a gift
universe shifts, to accommodate
a fool’s dream, such kindness shown
soul screams and tears start falling
with no end, moistening sharp bends,
key’s ends, inner voice says
now, the only door needs to open
is to your heart, take it apart
it has been locked for long
haven’t heard a love song,
for ages, as sages say
It is time, past unable to change,
present calling, unless you hold its hand
future falling, to abyss
don’t be afraid, leap,
then look below, above, near, afar
enjoy the night full of stars
sparkle and twinkle in beloved’s eyes
life surmised, in those beautiful moments
peace prevailed, contentment inhaled
and the last locked door of the universe
opened, your heart awakened
bliss spread, nothing to dread
just a sun shining Sunday morn,
heart adorned with a solitary key’s gift
to reach fabled redemption
