Open Door - Joanne Rand 2008

I'm walking through an open door.
I cannot see what's out there.
The remaining room in my life is not as big as it used to be,
But it's still important to me.
Sacred...space,
That which is left of my life.
Don't squander it. How will I paint the walls:
Wild and wavy, playful, crazy...
Or striped, confined by rules?
Let's make it Mother-of-Pearl for the mother of all fools.
Life is encompassed by a space and a hyphen and a space
Sandwiched somewhere between Birth Date and Death Date.
What are birth and death anyway? Certainly not who we are.
I am a planet, I am a star; I am the sun, the moon; I am gravity.
I am a candle blown out too soon. I am a firecracker with a short fuse
And you cannot refuse me; you cannot use me,
But you can love me if you choose.
We're walking…(verse 1)
We are candles; we are firecrackers; we are planets; we are stars;
We are the sun, the moon; we are gravity and I will love you as you are.
Walk with me through the open door.
Walk and say "Goodbye" To where we've been before.
I'm walking through an open door. I'm walking through an open door.
All I really want to say is: "Won't you walk with me?
Want to walk and find the way and wonder we will see?
Walk with me through the open door.
Walk and say "Goodbye" to where we've been before.
Walk and say "Hello."
