Quid pro Quo

You gotta give in order to receive

Close the door

And walk away

I take my hand

And guide me into today

 

Close the door my dear

It is time

My future destiny

Is today, so near

 

Take my hand

And I will bring

Destiny makes me smile

Another song I will sing

 

Open the one before me

Let the light shine in

Soon I will see

My time to be is a guarantee

 

And once again

Without fear I will go

Exploring what lies ahead

As I close the door

Quid Pro Quo

I like the rythm of this it was very good.I like the way you keep repeating close the door.It shows how headstrong this person is and how determined they are to reach their goal.
Without fear I will go
Exploring what lies ahead
As I close the door
The opening is great because it shows that you aren't alone but for this you need to be alone to achieve your goal.Beautifully done.

I love the rhythm in this Anata--your work always has a lovely flow to it :) The title, as Chloe said, is perfect and I think my favorite stanza in this is the last:

"And once again
Without fear I will go
Exploring what lies ahead
As I close the door
Quid Pro Quo"

Captivating and very thought-provoking--There is so much emotion captured here, with so few words. Beautiful :)

I have no idea how any times I have had to tell this to my heart. For it is with my heart that I feel the most pain when having to move past something or even someone. This is such a great, emotinal, and aspiring piece. I love it. You know what they say: The only constant is change. ~Liv

Anata, i love your title and it fits.. leaving past behind and starting over..
This is really good...

Close the door my dear
It is time
My future destiny
Is today, so near

Take my hand
And I will bring
Destiny makes me smile
Another song I will sing

So keep singing and writing ..

Great beinning, all the way to the end. The flow of your stanzas was perfect. I really enjoyed reading this poem. Great job on it!

New beginnings and leaving a past behind..........this had a feeling of
freshness and freedom, almost sang in song as you move on.


Open the one before me
Let the light shine in
Soon I will see
My time to be is a guarantee

Promises ahead of better things.............
