Replying to a comment on:

the door (Concrete) by wuying

In front of me, a door to no where lies what lurked behind it, no one really knew. A door that shivers, shudders, groans, and dies. It is a sad worn door of standard size about eight one or is it maybe two? A door that never speaks although it tries. It is a still observer, for with eyes it sees a person's soul no matter who. The closer that I come I realize. It was a door, no more, as time still flies a thousand people passed as time still flew. But they choose not to listen to its cries. I longed to venture in - but was it wise?? and torn in two, I knew not what to do. A step to cross the threshold broke my ties. I entered thru and to my great surprise, at last I understood that which was true. Behind me now, a door to no where lies. A door that shivers, shudders, groans, and dies.

okay, i get that, but not from the poem. for example, you say that the door never speaks, though it tries. i generally find obstacles to be indifferent to my plight. and, i'm sure that everyone and everything that challenges me does not have any special insight into my soul. i'm not trying to be argumentative; i just think this got a little mystical for what you were aiming at. and, why torn in two? see, i think there's much that can be said here, but i think you are not putting down everything you have worked through in your thoughts. have you read it aloud to yourself? sometimes hearing it is much much different than writing or reading it. the ears 'see' what the familiar eye does not. tighten.
