~APORIA~
(The Gateless Gate)

HERE     WE REACH     THE DOOR
 MASSIVE     UNPENETRABLE
UNPASSABLE     WE SEARCH     FOR
A LOCK     A KEY     A HANDLE
ON THE MOMENT     FACING     THE IMPOSSIBILITY
OF CROSSING     THIS     THRESHOLD
WE BEG     PLEAD     POSTURE     CURLING
FINGERS     INTO FISTS     WE KNOCK
POUND     RATTLE     RAGE
OUR FRUSTRATION     INTO     THE DOOR
THE DOOR     UNYIELDING     UNRESPONSIVE
UNANSWERING     ANSWERS
WE FALL     PROSTRATE     CONCEDING     DEFEAT
WE OPEN     OUR EYES     AND SEE
THAT     UPON SEEING     IT DISSOLVES
EFFLORESCING     TRANSCENDING     TRANSFORMING
THE WORLD     BEFORE     US
INTO WHAT?     WE     CAN ONLY
PONDER…

I like.. I only wonder if the 'plea' in the seventh line should be 'plead'? I like the unanswered questions inherent in your theme, and the feeling of frustration is well conveyed. Nice.
