KEYS
In one lifetime
We hold many keys
To many doors.
Some we open many times
And some we never see again.
Keys to boxes we lock
And hold
But never open.
Keys that connect us to others
And keys we invent
That open our imaginations.
But however many keys
We may collect
Throughout our life
We must remember,
There is no lock
On the final door.

But however many keys
We may collect
Throughout our life
We must remember,
There is no lock
On the final door.

woah, starlight. i was happily bouncing from word to word soaking in the images you were throwing out and then.... There is no lock
On the final door.
i did not expect it at all. it throws the whole poem in a different light altogether.
really profound.

do we make the keys
that open the things 1 sees
just think that when you say i Love you
it is far longer than you chose to
& before we jump the broom
we have often thought of being a bride or groom
& when we reach the final door
only our actions will speak....our words....no more...

Before you propose
After reading one prose
I must ask your intention
of your poetic intervention
are you trying to improve upon
or simply adding your own sing along
for while i like your closing line
i wonder if you missed my rhyme
but either way, in fair warning glad,
do not make my Pierre any more mad.

I can respect that. And I did like your last line. Just wondered truly what your intention was in commenting in rhyme. Some people would do so to stroke themselves and get attention. Just checking to make sure you still respect the poem and the writer. :) Inspiration in all forms is good, and I think is a lot of the purpose of DU.

You aren't bothering me, and we can have different friends. I know your relationship with him a little and thought I would just be clear up front.

Love the analogy. Succinct and strong.
A dose of reality with your last line.
I love the possibilities opening a door offers... the good and at times, not so good. The door of friendship with you is a wonderful key turned.

Written right after my father died. He had collected every key he had ever used in his life. I have most of them arranged and framed on my wall.
You, sir, seem to be collecting my stories. :)
Glad to have you in my little corner of the world, Ken, and glad you are enjoying the trip.
As always, thank you.
