Doors Close And Doors Open

Doors close and doors open
Mirrors turn sideways
Hallways become dead ends

Windows wink and glitter
Showing inside from inside
And outside from outside

Light fades and light shines
From everywhere and nowhere
Impossible to find the source

We watch our feet and get lost
We watch where we are going
And have no idea where we are

Secret passageways take us
Into rooms completely unexpected
Sometimes just back around again

In the funhouse that life is
All we can do is our best when
Doors close and doors open
