In the black wandering of my life
I found myself standing in front
of a darkened door,
seemingly random
in life's midst.

Heart scare -
a knock suddenly sounded
from the other side
which scared the heck out of me,
I had thought it was just a door
but it was more
somehow connected
entwined deep in my heart.

Someone wanted in,
was out there
had taken the time
to call by,
And I almost opened it by mistake,
Come to think of it
What right does that door
have to be there?
I closed my eyes,
wished
opened eyelids
but the door
was still there,
and the knocking repeats
echoes to my soul.

Starting Thoughts: Jesus said, "Behold I stand at the door and knock." How open are we in our lives? Do we hear but essentially screen the "call" and tell Him to go away. Was there an opportunity that we have just missed?
