The Gateway

The Gateway

The door is open.

Open so wide.

There's a feeling in my heart

That begs me to walk inside

There's a nagging voice within the corridors

Of my mysterious mind

That tells me to trust, to cast fear aside

The scent of perfumed flowers

Pervades the air

I can hear birds singing

Their songs erase all despair

The sky begins to clear

In this moment, I am aware.

I walk through the door

Bold and proud

The song of my heart

Sings ever so loud

Although I am confused

For as I walk through the door

There is nothing beyond it

Except blankness and floor 

My mind searches for reason

My heart searches for something

But how can I fathom paradise

Where there is absolutely nothing?

Then it hits me

Like a ton of bricks

The gateway is not empty

This is not a cruel trick

This space of emptiness

Is where all greatness begins

Were we not born from the wombs darkness

Did we not call that home bliss?

Beyond this gateway

Is the womb of all creation

It begins within silence

Within darkness & imagination

Close your eyes

Open your mind

Feel with all your heart

For that is where your gateway lies
