A Door is a Door

could there be?
isn’t there always?
something
slightly beyond the gray
something bright
and gleaming
a bit or burst
of sunlight
to soothe
and warm
to kindle cheer
to resuscitate
the dimmed spirit
the cooled heart
the somber soul

do we writhe
in agony
merely because
we do not perceive
that which provides
the softening grays
in lieu of
the depth
the bleakness
of the shadowy
firmament
that hugs our world

do we not
realize
the succor of its coating
its nurture
as a comforter
spread gently
about our world
or can we recall
have we the
wherewithal
to envision
that which awaits
beyond the door
waiting to be
opened

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

The message is clear,  if only we all could
read it and accept it for what it is...
Yes,  there is a door which holds that which
we wish.  But which one?

VAS,
   I think your poem is well written and very perceptive:
   "isn’t there always?
   thing
   slightly beyond the gray"
Write on!!!
