Lost key....

Rummaging my attic

I found a lost key

That had just lain there static

Through all the years I was born to see

It looked ancient

And yet in the light shone

A brooding darkness that was patient

Through every tragedy it had borne

It lay there plain

Bringing me a sense of calm

That I had only left to gain

As soon as I held it in my palm

It belonged to this lock

That had always been there

In front of every stumbling block

I was only too scared to look where

The key had found me

And all I had to do was unlock

Every fear to make me free

To lift my barriers as one flock

Only then, did I realize

What I wanted to undo, was long undone

The key taught me in disguise

T’is beyond locks and barriers, I must run

It’s the path I’ve chosen

That has earned me this

As I leave the past frozen

Not a moment, I’d want to miss

For neither locks nor keys, ever exist

It’s all in my mind

Fear only persists, the more I resist

Until the lost key, I happened to find!
