Every Door is a Path

Every Door is a Path

A Poem by D. Mansfield

Navigating down lifes,

winding, tricky stairs,

They get steeper

and steeper,

and we start to despair.


A few more steps,

we arrive at ground level,

and laugh.

Because every door, has a door,

and thru every door, is a path.

Indeed! Beneath that ground level, life hides an underground car park and navigating life in that space is completely hellish!

I think this is a clever summation of the journey of life in general. We navigate its stairs through many winding pathways and through many doors and yet there is always more navigation to be endured. Trials and tribulations will always be encountered and yet our journey will keep continuing until we breathe our last.
An excellent little piece of philosophy, D.

thank you so much for the review
Is this a case of 'escape at last' or a bewilderment of where to go next? Your finely laid poem has found me unsure of how to respond, to be or not to.. understand you or compose my own response which is: a hint of mystery: look and should or might.. find.

'Navigating down lifes,
winding, tricky stairs,
They get steeper'

More than true.
