To
take a perfect bolt
and
start the nut awry
and
twist it with a jolt
is
like a lie.
To
grab a kiss or touch
without
her matching mood
won’t
gratify as much
as
tasteless food.
To
batter down a door
whose
fault is being locked
won’t
satisfy us more
than
having knocked.
For
every door locked tight
a
second unlocked door
will
open with no fight
and
please us more.
The
one who knocks and waits,
then
seeks an unlocked way,
transcends
life’s petty hates
and learns to pray.
