Can you tell me, wise old sage

What lies beyond the gate?

Will I journey through them?

And tempt the hands of fate

They say you are the only one

Who can tell my future true

I am here to listen closely

To the wisdom, that is you

In the setting sun of evening

With the stars that shine so bright

I’ll wait here, in the darkness

With you, as my guiding light

I’ll stand here and I’ll wonder

If you’ll ever let me see

What it is inside the gate

That’s waiting just for me

A door unopened, here remains
Through sharpest winds and icy rains

Where it leads, I do not know
Perhaps it’s only here for show

But what is that, a creature there?
Who looks completely unaware

Nary a movement does he make
I don’t think that he’s awake!!

I’ll walk ever quietly, to the door
This one I’ve never been before

Slowly, so he does not rouse
Toward the door, just let him drowse

Pray, the hinges will not creak
When I open the portal to take a peek

This gate was in the middle of nowhere on a nature trail. The little creature is actually the root system from a fallen tree!!

She was calmly sleeping, dreaming

While inside her shell, she was silently steaming

Dormant no longer, she awakens, and sighs

The fire grows stronger, as she opens her eyes

A rumbling sound, makes the earth quake and shutter

A roar from her, bellowing, in the wake of a sputter

Her fiery heart, can hold back no longer

As her anger grows deeper, ever stronger

She releases the demons, kept in her shell

Unleashing the fires, from the gates of hell
