doors of possibilities

 

 

 

Doors in the empty Twilight.

I am just a single step away,

Yet never finding the courage

               to just open one of them.

 

Possibilities…

 

A thousand sighs as I wait.

I stood still, as I hold into the moments,

Looking, looking, & still looking…

 

All I wanted is a flickering sign

For me to barge in

without any hesitation

and bleed in accord to whatever

    outcomes that lays within.

closed doors by Amandine Van Ray

there are some doors that you cannot just barge in and take the leap of faith or in our dialect "bahala na". Sometimes you needed to understand it more of what's out there, and feel if its the right time, that you are ready no matter what...

A soul in turmoil, at the edge of something barely discernible. The truth lies beyond the door, but what is the truth, and where does it lead?
The twilight doors lead into darkness, but there are pale lights there, beckoning us on.
A thousand sighs, filled with melancholy, and indecision...
"Will I be right?", "Can I do this?"
Faith is hard to find in uncertain times... but that's when it matters most...

Well written.

I kept reading your questions my friend, and it taken me a long thinking to answer… I always find that truth is always subjectable depending on what the person believes in or taught to or experienced with. So I guess I can only say that I think I already knew in me what lies behind that door, I knew it or I knew where it leads to, I just have to be sure first that this is the path I wanted that leads to another sets of doors I am unfamiliar with. So I think the first step is the crucial part in my decision.

"Will I be right?", "Can I do this?" --- ahh, yes, those questions does lingers in mind... I know deep within me, can do this, also somehow I already knew it will be right & alright in the end, but not today, nor tomorrow… someday when all things are in level of my feelings/time/place, before I jump another high mountain.

Indecision and uncertainties, would always be there in the road, it’s part of our life on how we decide everything in our daily lives. It needed time and space to think it through with a little faith, surely will surpass anything we decide.

Thank you very much my friend…

When Opportunity knocks, we should, of course, do our best to answer. But such a knock may never come, it is then necessary that we exit and enter doors giving us the best chance for accomplishing our goals.
Meaningful piece, Pax!

Really I feel this piece so much! I`m always on the way to "many doors", doubtful and hesitating until the end about the future..but once you see the sign (and there is always a sign!) your way will be so much lighter and steps sure. Mostly we should feel safe in our hands and hands of destiny...as we all have basic things we cant choose. But what we can is highly important for the way. Amazing poem, dear William!

Quiet inspirational write! This write`s lighting up the "creativity" among the.. "today`s" people`s hearts, no matter what, may be, cos, they`ve lost their paths; are walkin` off the tracks to finding what they ain`t even know `bout. So, this piece`s very insightful and your "Author`s note" reminds me some great professional writers words of wisdom which motivate every soul to move always head. Keep it up!! Wonderful poem!!

For me, it is always better to swim in the pool of failures than to be drowned by what ifs in life...

' I stood still, as I hold into the moments'

doors can represent so many different things, the shutting out of danger, the opening to brave new worlds. this poem is especially poignant because it shows your work progressing, this is a sophisticated intuitive write that you should be very pleased with. fantastic.

my friend, it is always a great pleasure to read your encouragement, I am still trying to improve myself, not just in my writing but that includes my well-being, & I thank you greatly with your words, that means so much... bless you my friend...

The doors in this piece spoke to me as symbol of various opportunities.. Sometimes when we find our comfort zones, the stronger our reluctance to open ourselves to other possibilities because we cannot be certain what lies behind the door of opportunities. We may be trading a comfortable status quo to risky and uncertain endeavor. However, when we are stuck in our comfort zones, our personal development sometimes becomes stagnant. And sometimes there are doors that closed permanently because we did not seize it immediately. Though i may not know your intended meaning, i can very well relate to this.

“However, when we are stuck in our comfort zones, our personal development sometimes becomes stagnant. And sometimes there are doors that closed permanently because we did not seize it immediately.”

This comfort zones are sometimes my safe haven, perhaps I have been stagnant for a time, but that’s my choice because it is something that you do when you are soul searching while still living the life not really the one you wanted, I must find the things that I really wanted, & not persuaded by other people think you should do, I wanted to do this because I wanted to, not because on the impulse to be done with it, na bahala na… I really wanted to be sure - first, to be able to trust myself na okay na lahat, na ready na ako to jump another mountain. You know, Kasi, alam ko na yung nasa kabilang door. I guess I could say na, there are certain points in our lives that we needed to be sure or else we’ll be living in regrets, Segoro Gab, I could tell you na sometimes I take chances na walang kasiguraduhan, like before, going with the flow on how life shows itself. Segoro I have matured early, that I based my choices upon what is just there presented, not looking for myself on what I really wanted. Kasi practical tayo eh, kung anong makakabuti sa iba, bahala na kung di mo yun gusto, basta mapasaya mo lng sila, or to assure yourself na okay sila nito kahit na sa sarili mo di ka segurado. Hay… segoro nga, my life is full of unopened door… but that’s okay, I still have time to open some of them – the more important ones…

Ahh, Gab, my good friend, Sometimes I forget you are my psychologist, haha, kidding :D
Many thanks, dear friend.

This poured into me so deeply... the place of possibility.. the indecision of a longing heart... I stand there now.. wondering which door to choose.. And yes, I must be able to live with the outcome that arises... Such a powerful, stirring write.

[Pax]

my friend, your words always tugs my heart, to feel that I am not so alone on my wonderings or even longings. You see things the way I see it, I am grateful, to you always, thank you very much!

Yet never finding(find) the courage
to just open one of them.

Possibilities…



The great unknown out there, the endless possibilities beyond and the starry flickers of fateful signs. Humans are hesitant to take the leap of faith, to jump aboard the ship and to cross valleys of death. I feel the narrator wisely telling us think before you leap, be patient before you barge and trust yourself before others. An excellent write my dear friend and brother...:)...........................

“I feel the narrator wisely telling us think before you leap, be patient before you barge and trust yourself before others.”

Sami, my good friend & brother. You are so right, I feel like shedding a tear now, & I did, Thank you very much. Yeah, I need a lot of patient right now, for all the shadow to clear up & be able to trust myself. Maybe that is why all my friends back in school are now farther away from me, or I don’t have any best friend aside from family, relatives & friends here in wc because I find it hard to trust people easily. You know I always keep my problems to myself & try to solve them in my own without any help, but through writing I was able to expressed myself and was able to stay clear on the road despite the clouds of doubts.

I thank you dearly for this my good friend & brother, you are very wise as ever. Bless you!

[Sami Khalil]

You will in due time and place. You are welcome...Any time...:)............
