Beyond That Door

Accidental Poet



 

From time to time I wonder

What’s on the other side of that door

Where most of my loved ones now live

And can I be a visitor

 

To be with families

And animals too

To share love and hugs

Long over due

 

So many things

I never got to say

Always something unexpected

Got in the way

 

But even beyond words

Emotions between Heaven and Earth

To look in familiar eyes

And see my own worth

 

Cause I miss them all

So much more than words can tell

But I know they’re in my heart

My heart’s deepest well

 

Sometimes I feel their presence

Within a metaphor

My thoughts always look

Beyond that door

    Good write AP.
    You having more success than me? I opened the door - and someone had bricked it up the other side. May have been KP. lol.

    • Accidental Poet

      Let me get this straight Orchi. Someone blocked your door to KP, and you think it was KP. And you're complaining? 🙄

      • orchidee

        Oh, I shouldn't complain then.
        I thought you was gonna write - When one door opens, another one slams in ya face'. Noooo!! Bit negative that.

        What a lovely poem AP. However, would we value life as much if we could see our loved ones gone, everyday?

      • Rocky Lagou

        My mom passed away when I was 13 and this is truly a relatable poem. I do hope one day we can reunite with our lost ones "beyond the door." Wonderfully done!

          When my dad passed last December, my last words to him were, "We're not going to say good-bye dad, just that we'll see you later." Thanks Rocky. 😉
