The Theatre of Dreams.

Goldfinch60

In life there are always choices,

Those choices lead us to what we become.

We may go through the door we chose

And enter our Theatre of Dreams

Where life is wonderful,

Full of happiness,

Full of love.

But sometimes along the way

We enter another door,

And walk on to the Stage of Nightmares

Where life pulls us into the darkness,

Full of sadness,

Full of hate.

When we enter that door be assured

That the light will be there,

Head to the light and you will find the door,

The door back into The Theatre of Dreams.

    A fine write G/F. Oh yes, I know. I had a terrifying experience. Maybe you have too. I walked on to a Stage of Nightmares - the rehearsing Stage of 'Neighbours'. I've never been quite right since! heehee.

    Great writing, Goldfinch! Yes, we do have to be careful about which door we open.

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Fred, that choice has been with us throughout our lives, I feel that the doors that I have opened have lead me to a good life and for that I am extremely grateful.

      Thank goodness that you are right about this. I've found myself thru that wrong door a few times. Nice one sir!

      • Goldfinch60

        Thank you da, there are always other doors to go through.

        Love this Andy - the worlds a stage - not much room is there?
        Sorry couldn't resist that one !!!!

        • Goldfinch60

          Thank you Michael.

          Ah, but the new Theatre of Dreams that I am building there will be room for all except the politicians and warmongers.

            Could you add inconsiderate drivers to the list?

            • myself and me

              I am on the wrong stage now. Thank you for letting me know there is still door out.
              Love this one.

              • Goldfinch60

                The doors are always there, sometimes they are hidden but they can be found. Thank you mandm.

                I love this too. Theatre of dreams. Many times I've entered on wrong doors but I always would find my way back to the right side of the theatre. Very nice inspiration Gold.
