Poem: “Thoughts Behind the Door”

(Image by and property of FBC, Omnia Caelum Studios València. All Rights Reserved)

Who’s behind the door?

Who looks through cracks but doesn’t open?

What does he hide inside?

Does he let in the sun?

Does he let in the wind?

Does he let in the smiles?

Does he even know why he protects all his things?

A door to keep out the strange,

unknown aspects of time,

is a door that combines,

thoughts of worry,

a most dangerous sign,

that perhaps he has finally lost his bleak mind.

    Tal vez sea sólo una puerta clausurada en nombre del azar. A lo mejor no se abre hacia ningún retorno de acuerdo a la espectacular foto. Excelente poema Francisco.

        Ya echo de menos el verano que se me perdió en Chile por esas «puertas» del cambio climatico que ha convertido el otoño en un incipiente invierno (5 grados) en las mañanas. Un abrazo

      2. Asi es, en València y en casi toda España no ha dejado de llover desde marzo y aún está nevando en partes con una cota muy baja de nieve. Cambio climático…

    1. Thank you Malc. You lads start wine time way before here in the Western Hemisphere…I am getting a little anxious to return to Europe you know…but still a little more work to be done here, would not feel quite good if I did not do it. All the best.
