Behind the closed door

    here's time ticking away

Quietly & silently

Behind the closed door

A throbbing in heating pipes

A tap dripping into the sink

Or just the wind

Winding around corners

Quietly & silently

Tranquil

But in the end

The day is guillotined

    After all

And looks puzzled

Fir trees

Comforted by darkness

But the wind moans

 Dreamers

     if

You

And

I

Are

Not

The ones

Then

Who is

Dreaming

     This

World?

Dream

     how does

The hand

Feel

On

Your

Shoulder

If

During

Dark night

You’re

     Deeply

Asleep?

This week's prompt: Dreamscapes

Four White Feathers

… and then you find

A crumpled white feather

In your wallet

You know your failing

And the courage

Of the one you failed

The Idea of Heaven

Still residing high above the stars and skies

Heaven’s the realm of ev’ry God adored

It’s the safe haven for all the battered souls

To be reached only by the grace of God

One endeavors with auspiciousness and ease

Another ruthlessly loses chance by chance

And we just living in the dreaded middle

Look at the sky above and think of heaven

The idea of heaven also implicates

A hell for those, who do not fear law or God

If they burn and suffer, we should pity them

Do not foolishly think you stood on solid ground

When you are walking on a slippery path

Which eventually might lead to heaven

(Listen to Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven)

Alternative lines:

/ A hell for those not fearing God or the law

/ Do not foolishly think you'd stand on solid ground

/ When you are walking on a slippery path

/ But which eventually leads to heaven

Without Exit

There is a city without exits

It only possesses entries

A Kasbah

A labyrinth

Abandoned streets

Shadows entering attics

Only beginnings

No endings

It is, where Sysiphus is working

Ahasver still lives here

No telephone

Neither internet

Nor churches for solace

But you live here, too

Que sera, sera

Or Fridays for future

Constant change
