As you pass
through the door to pier
consider
carefully
if that door leads to heaven.
You may be leaving.
The door is open
but one person’s paradise
may be hell
to someone
else. On which side does
the sign hang?

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York.
My goal is to create and share poetry with others
who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve
in you, and feel your sparks as well.
It reminds me of the saying “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure”. A though provoking poem Sara. I love the closing question. I nice touch! Great writing!

A point to ponder. I think there are some who think theirs is the only way to heaven may find many surprises.
