In Between Doors

In between doors

One not quite shut

Even though I try to

The other one

Not quite ready to be opened

In between doors

Stuck in my soul’s no man’s land

It’s space too small to take the first step

Too narrow to mess around

Is it really necessary to force shut a door that doesn’t close properly?

Is it really necessary waiting for someone to open the other door?

In between doors

Not wanting to wait for floods

Or other door-opening disasters

“Just extend your hand”

In this small space

My left foot firmly presses

against the old door

so the Boogey man won't enter

Where I extend my right hand

and push down the doorknob

I hear a smooth click

Its brand new hinges hardly make a sound

When the opening is wide enough

I will swiftly lift my left foot and slip through

Closing the old door behind me

Exhilarated I will stand at the threshold

A wonderful view

Endless possibilities

It was me who opened the door
