You Opened the Door

You Opened the Door


You opened the door for me

To traverse my world on sinewy paths
Mountains and valleys, landscapes awash
Quiet brooks, rivers, and turbulent seas

You opened the door for me

The cave I inhabited grew impossibly small
Opportunity and pace , reduced to a crawl
Solitude be damned, it was time to flee

You opened the door for me

Fully embracing challenges of the heart
Love's radiance washes away the dark
Expanding by ten the wonders I see

You opened the door for me

Whitewashing memory's dreary black shroud
Professing love proudly, at last spoken aloud
Ever independent, I cherish becoming "we"
