I've always heard that when one door closes, another opens. 
But, often we obstinately pound on the closed door, wanting our own way.

missed reading your poetry -

Closed outwardly but perhaps inside there is an indescribable yearning... perhaps for missed opportunity, things unsaid, and so forth! Wonderful thought provoking imagery, it gets the reader thinking! sam

The first thing that popped into my mind after finishing this poem was the lack of closure. So painful it is when we do not get it.

CC~ Distinctive sense throughout the read; like this reader wants to turn a page and find yet another vision...this is sensitively, moving.  Yes, it is very so. E.E.
