My Door to the Light
I close my eyes, in silence. 
 I can see a door. 
 Made entirely of light. 
 
 My heart skips a beat in time. 
 I reach for the knob. 
 But it's moving from my reach. 
 
 I cry out, for it to stop. 
 Yet still, it fades out. 
 I can feel it, leer inside. 
 
 Checking if my heart is pure. 
 Free of ill intent. 
 To find, that I am worthy. 
 
 It opens, and I step through. 
 Fearful, yet amazed. 
 Of what, I would soon partake. 
 
 Stars shine, as bright as the sun. 
 The blue moon rings out. 
 As I stand upon new lands. 
 
 Planet Earth is far behind. 
 The creatures roam free. 
 The people sleep peacefully. 
 
 I can see my reflection. 
 Through crystal waters. 
 I awaken, drenched in sweat. 
 
 It is, but a dream for me. 
 Just a lucid dream. 
 The dormant door within me. 
 
 The peace never existed. 
 Shedding angry tears. 
 My warm heart begins to break. 
 
 A secret door, made of light. 
 I ponder, lonely. 
 That's what heaven must be like...
