Beyond the Purple Door
Open the door! Now’s the time!
You’ve spent a lifetime penned behind
These suffering walls and stained glass.
A pure white ray of light
Peaks through,
Seeks you, speaks to you.
The fleeting dove extends its wings,
The delicate iris suspends its petals,
As all the flowers and foliage float
Without a fear together
In this one eternal springtime moment.
A window of opportunity knocks.
Unlock the bolt and turn the doorknob forward.
New life abounds, get off the ground.
Unframe your death, unmask your breath
And follow the lightened path
Of faith and hope and love
Beyond the purple door.
