Story: The Door That Kept Opening
Verse 1
I thought there’d be one doorway
with a sign above the frame
before it I was searching
after it I’d earn the name
but the first door opened gently
to a hallway full of light
and every room beyond it
opened deeper into night
Chorus
The door kept opening
no final place to stand
the path kept disappearing
like water through the hand
nothing new was captured
nothing lost was found
the door kept opening
without a solid ground
Verse 2
There was shame and then a doorway
there was anger, then release
there was sadness, then a window
there was ordinary peace
there was tea and there was traffic
there was body, breath, and rain
and the one who wanted ending
was another passing name
Bridge
No badge, no crown
no final line
no holy moment
fixed in time
just life revealing
what life will show
and no one steering
where it will go
Final Chorus
The door kept opening
no finish line ahead
the seeker stopped returning
to the stories it had fed
nothing new was needed
nothing far was true
the door kept opening
as this ordinary view
