Into The Closet

Every day I open Invisible Doors

to the Closet of my Mind,

choosing to wear what I see there.

My Wardrobe of Ideas and Beliefs

has often changed through the years

though much still remains.

Sometimes, like clothes, they no longer fit,

no longer express who I am

nor who I now choose to be.

Some have less quality, less value to me.

Some wear out their meaning.

Those, I just let go.

My such ‘clothes’ are handed down

from the Wardrobes of others.

Some I treasure. Some I alter for me

so I can move and live more free.

Some ‘clothes’ and ‘shoes’ are exciting and new.

With Time, I’ll see how they wear too.

Some days, I find I’d rather pay No Mind

to any Thoughts, Ideas, Beliefs inside.

Then I see No Need, Nothing Required…

I simply Feel the Love,

Divine, Unconditional, Non-judging Love,

wearing a seamless Robe of Oneness

and finding my Self in every thread.

With age, I grow more sensitive,

more aware and more caring

of how it Really Feels—

this Matter, this Energy,

this Coloured Material of Ideas and Beliefs

in the Closet of my Mind.
