CELEBRATIONS
So much super poetry is coming in -- enjoy this from JC:
The Door
Go and open the door.
Maybe there is a path leading to your dreams.
Maybe there is a key that can unlock your mind.
Maybe there is a box of nightmares waiting to be discovered.
Go and open the door.
Maybe there is a world that is upside down.
Maybe there is a scroll prepared to be told.
Maybe there is a doughnut…… Mmm doughnut.
Beyond the green door –
Trees grow taller every minute.
Beyond the blue door –
Waterfalls heavily plummet to their death.
Beyond the red door –
Anger and frustration swells.
