i only have the key to that door. <br />i can open it anytime and stay there for a while <br /> <br />away from the crowd <br />away from the daily occurrences <br /> <br />it is a closed door <br />conference with myself where i talk and listen at the same time <br /> <br />it is dark but it is peaceful <br />it is small but everything in me is there: whole and intact <br /> <br />i only have the key <br />and i am not opening <br /> <br />or when i open it <br />i keep it closed that way <br /> <br />it is sacred <br />as sacred as my secret <br /> <br />it is holy <br />as holy as my soul <br /> <br />it is a mystery <br />for all the things that i worship <br /> <br />it is mine <br />and you are not welcome.<br /><br />RIC S.
