“The RoseBouquet”

There are doors we can only see with our spiritual eyes.
Some have locks and keys, with no window at all.
We don’t always know when we are sealed away.
Betimes when a door is opened to us, - we’re surprised.

If only we could see all the doors that stand wide open.
How much choice there is! - We could go peek inside.
Lots of intangible doors stand ajar most welcomingly.
If only we’d notice them, and check them out - hope’n.

Some day we’ll walk through tomb doors and even a wall,
as Jesus showed at Easter time, but for now we learn
to recognize those intangible doors, and discern
which, upon entering, will usher us into a new life’s hall.

Perhaps even yet, we shall learn how to knock or unlock
those more difficult intangible doors of great opportunity,
a spacious place to grow, or just from our dungeon be free.
Oh for spiritual eyes to see the real doors, and the mock!

I know who can help us improve our discerning insight.
He can show our prison door keys, and lead us out.
He will show us which doors bear considerable knocking
and which ones lead to love, joy, peace and healing light.
