The door is flung open wide as
“Go” he says….you who have
Since wanted to leave for awhile
“Go” he says…you who have
Stifled here since such a long while
“Go” he says…I have unfettered you,
Generously unlocked the chains with which
You have bound yourself to me---
Since the beginning of your awareness
“Go” he says….you are now set free…
“Free?” she asks….how can that be…
When I know not how to walk
Without you by my side
“Free?” she asks…how can that be…
When I have never stepped beyond
This doorstep without you holding my hand
“Free?” she pleads…what is freedom
While I still wear your ring on my finger
And carry your name with mine
“Go” he says…seek, and all will be fine…
Bewildered, at the threshold….she looks over
Her shoulder as she wonders which way to turn…
