This is just a fine piece of writing. So simple, yet so powerful.
Great photo and very evocative wriing
This has a very gentle feel to it.
If and it is, addressed to Mr Door then I get this amazing image of you walking around inside the door, of course when you said inside you, you might have been refering to the house - even so, this still has a very gentle feel to it!
like someone who is desperate to be heard, I think the door is like a invisible wall that hides one's own desires but when it is open, it can bring out that longings that springs from within, or something like that
Oh, I've been there...Couldn't have written it as well, however!
I could feel the sadness. Love that you added a pic!
This was so heartfelt...and I love the photo of the door. Beautiful!
wonderful. you make it seem so easy. :) bravo!
Amarettogirl,
Very smooth verse.
Insightful, delightful,
succint without seeming too terse.
Tschuess,
