The Doorway

Standing in a doorway
One can see both sides,
But not fully

It takes a step either way
To enter a room,
Or to exit another

Standing in a doorway
It may be easy to imagine
What is not really there

It takes a step either way
To find the reality
Of one's decision

But sometimes one has to
Fully enter a room
Before it's beauty can be seen

Sometimes one has to
Cross a room before
Another doorway can be seen

And sometimes another doorway leads
To a room one has been seeking
When standing in a doorway
