This door... (to the one who listened)

Take the deepest breath before
you open this immortal door:

here, you will first receive
what you think you want the most:

if it’s to enhance your self-image,
that will be arranged;

if you want to tell others
what it’s all about; even bully them;
there’s a place for you;

if you want to come along to prove
that you knew it all already,
fine.. come in; and later, go…

if you want to prove your life
to have been ruined by others and
it never was your fault –
that can be arranged;

or if you want to be just a little wiser;
or life to be a little easier;
you’ll love it here;

but this is the house to bless you with
two unsuspected further wishes:

when you have tasted
what you thought you wanted
you are of course, free to leave;

but if that which you thought you wanted
turns to ashes in your mouth,
you may wish – and whoosh! it’s gone;

and then there comes the third wish…:
so deep in you that only now
you knew it to have been always there;

here you will find yourself
to be yourself;

so stand here on the pavement; pause;
these are not wood, but golden doors.
