One looks out, curious and expectant,
opens the door eager to meet.
But, seeing that there is nothing in its lair,
closes the door sadly.
An illusion vanishes into thin air,
a dream crushed mercilessly.
The heart breaks and tears apart,
Life is like that, full of uncertainty,
fleeting moments that fade away.
And though it hurts and causes great discouragement,
it is necessary to let go of what perishes.
Thus, one looks out and learns to close,
to leave behind what does not deserve to stay.
One does not return, but another will be born,
with healed wounds and renewed hope.
The cycle continues, the heart resurfaces,
and with the door open, new adventures await.
