BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

Looking down a typical street of side to side houses.

Doors firmly closed. What secrets are they hiding?

During the day, the occupants greet one another or not as the mood takes them.

Converting thoughts and pressures of home to work.

To a place of safety and normality, or not.

It could be there the secret is kept and no one knows

 ’Til it returns to be hidden behind closed doors.

Behind closed doors, wounds of mind and body have small moments to contemplate ‘Why me? Why us?’

 ’Til the key in the door brings terror or real love back in behind closed doors.
