“Key“ Thoughts (II)

Today’s treat: a poem – basically an addition to my first entry concerning keys. Enjoy reading it 🙂

 

 

Key Thoughts

 

A Door, An Invitation

A key – it’s small, but don’t ignore:

Can open one door it’s made for

Then I should hand it back before

I go back, for that’s not my chore

 

A Gate, To Alternation

The Key is He who is the Door

A key I shall be, too, therefore

Let others and myself explore

The land beyond familiar shore

A house that shall be locked no more

A garden with surprise in store

 

A Heart, Determination

You may feel locked inside a jar

Or else locked out, away too far

Regardless of how weird, bizarre

Or if you’re branded by a scar

Black hole, thin air or shooting star

There is a key to who we are

 

A Treasure, My Narration

The treasure in its chest, safe there?

But keeping it, can that be fair?

My diary – open and share?

Those handcuffs, I am well aware:

Too bright might shine liberty’s glare

What if I’ve lost the key, no care

Now cannot find it anywhere

 

A Key, Realization

The key can be a melody

A bird’s song in a budding tree

A key, the words, “Yes, I agree”

A tinge of true simplicity

The knowledge: I’m not bound, but free

Or even kids’ cacophony

A spirit of felicity

Activity, vivacity

 

A Key, A Revelation

The key, an open eye to see

What lies beneath – within each “Me”

The key is: turn, no longer flee

Find treasures for eternity

 

 The Key, I’ve said, the Key is He

A key, thus, I am called to be

To be and use and share the key

Meine lieben deutschen Leser: Heute gibt es leider keine deutsche Version, denn ein Gedicht lässt sich schlecht übersetzen… Trotzdem viel Spaß beim Lesen!
