The Door

The moment between the past and the future.

My choices brought me here.

My decisions.

I did this on my own.

*

My hand is on the door knob.

Beyond it, the future.

Behind, the past.

*

What is beyond the door?

Will I love this place?

Will I feel at home?

*

A deep breath.

A confident smile.

My hand turns the knob.
