Poem: Doors

Carlos Serna II

Nov 24

The door neither opens nor closes.

It abides, motionless, a mirage of the boundary.

For upon the threshold, in any stance,

you remain both within and without,

the one who crosses and the one who lingers,

the dweller of the center where borders dissolve.

The door never truly opens nor closes;

it only dreams of such gestures.

For the threshold divides nothing:

where you imagine entering, you already are,

and where you fear departing, you still remain.

You are the inside breathing through the outside,

and the outside keeping vigil within the inside,

a single heartbeat dwelling in two silences.

Carlos Serna II

Just amazing! Thank you for continuing this. Fits perfectly. “For the threshold divides nothing”. ✨

✨ Carlos Serna II on Gratitude ✨

• Gratitude opens the soul’s eyes to the miracle hidden in the ordinary.

• To give thanks is to turn each fleeting moment into eternity shared.

• One who is grateful is never alone; the universe itself walks beside them.

• Gratitude is the secret key that transforms wounds into wisdom.

• To thank is to breathe with the heart and hear the music of the world.

• Gratitude does not ask—it reveals: everything is already enough.

• To give thanks is to plant light in memory and harvest strength in the present.

• Every word of appreciation is a mirror where the soul recognizes itself.

• To be seen is to be woven into the fabric of another’s wonder.

• Gratitude is the silent music that turns admiration into communion.

• A fan is not a follower, but a fellow traveler in the constellation of thought.

• Recognition is the light that reveals ideas as living bridges between hearts.

This is so such a lovely and hopeful poem.

Thank you so much Amir! 💚 Yes, it’s a prayer for us all, let’s not cry over closed doors or be afraid of opening new ones. 🙏🏻

What a perfect ending - may all the doors you want open towards your thirties. It is a beautiful decade ❤️

From a friend who is almost leaving her thirties^^ (in fact, my last birthday in my thirties is on Monday- still don’t know how I feel about that hahah)

Thank you! 🤍 taking away the poetic license from “shall not scare me anymore”, I’m actually super scared, but also excited. 🥲 Aaaaah, sagitariana!🔥 amei. Vou te dar parabéns na segunda 🫶🏻

❤️ uma sagitariana meio solitaria, aventureira nas leituras, mas ainda assim sagitariana 😂❤️

Yes, open all closed doors, not just for yourself, but for others. Hold it open until someone else has it open, and then you can go on opening more of those closed doors. Beautiful!

Your comment is a perfect continuation for the poem. Thank you! 🤍🤍🤍
