Chances

Do you relish the thought of a door opening?
Or does it terrify you?
Fragments of missteps and failures clutter the doorstep.
Like a magnet, you are pulled back.
But you must push past.
Quickly now, step in.
The light dims and then brightens.
You choose between fear and wonder.
Ahead are possibilities, but you know that.
