Poem of the Month 3/16

                      Vestibules

 

The heart will greet various feelings,

The halls of the heart are long and wide,

Will the doorways open?

Many thoughts and intentions fill spaces,

Spaces in the heart, areas of shelter.

Will sheltered thoughts pass through the doors?

Will the man of mercy be merciful?

Will the hopeless romantic welcome the blush?

Will the hero leap?

Will the humanitarian stop the inhumane?

Generosity how far will it reach, to the depths?

Warm love can it melt cold prejudice?

Will it embrace the child, even the child of old age?

Will the beat of the heart unlock the doors?

Will the warm love get through?

Vestibules are only beginnings, the halls await,

The destinations can be reached,

Let the good get through, through the doors,

Through the vestibules.
