When opening the door to reality, the stars seem to shine brighter
And the weight of the world’s worries became lighter
For the open door looks outwards and inwards
To a place where time stands still
To a moment where movement is all but nil.

Opening the door to let the sun-reality stream into the mind
Isn’t an excursion into a new religion, you’ll find,
Hymns aren’t necessary nor are prayers
For the opening door ignores the worshipping crowds
For the reality, when the thoughts fly easily are allowed.

When opening the door we can hold hands with the past
Speak to our relatives who passed through this doorway
For the opening door leads us on eventually to explore
Our inner spaces as intrepid explorers discover the new world
Our inner silences can drown out the illusion we know only too well.

Opening the door bestows a responsibility on all who gaze beyond
For the reality is there to be explained, to be, at last, known
Ignore the scenes what is behind the opening door
You will live as a lizard scratching the bare floor
With only a boulder to rely on, for comfort and love.

I open the door on to the reality which wants us to know
We can tune in, if we want to, if we can only become slow
Expanding awareness a thousand fold 
Gazing as the door opens still wider, I see the gold
That lies hidden in the hearts and minds of everyone’s soul. 

Behind the opening door cosmic awareness
Becomes like a gigantic puzzle
As each piece connects with a larger piece
That connects with the whole that lives inside us all.

Violet indigo blue green  yellow orange and red
Streams the colours as they shine in my head
A spectrum of truth
That shines upon the path
Leading through the opening door
Leading on to where the love is more.
Real than each dawning day
More real than anyone could ever say.

You may find your pot of gold
In the rainbow heart
You feel as you become a part
Of the universe that is you and within you
That love is you and you are love
Not at any time will you despair
Having opened the door with such care.

Once the door becomes a glittering show of reality
It will fade away into infinity
Your heart will join with your head
As you wave to all the people who are dead,
Listen to their laments and advice
The door stays open – so should your mind.
