The Door by Adrian CalhounStanding at the threshold.
The door to be opened,
is my decision, and mine alone.
The fear of the unknown,
what lies on the other side.
I find myself hesitant.
Will it forever change my life,
will it leave all that I know behind?
Fear and anticipation,
can play strange tricks on the mind.
Life, love, and loss,
the jouney of ones soul.
From point A to point B,
and all stages in-between.
The future has yet to be told.
Standing at the threshold,
palms sweating,
hand upon the knob,
heart is racing ...
