Fate

What lies beyond, we don't really know.

I stand behind a big red gate;
Wondering what lies beyond,
will it open, or is it too late -
What will be my fate?

I pry if open.
Completely shut. Locked.
Then, I knock.

bam, bam, bam

Still nothing.
I give the doorbell a ring.
Still nothing.

Denied and hopeless,
I walk away,
Thinking, "what a wasted day."

Then all of a sudden,
A door -
Right corner of the big red gate -
Opens.
