Wanting More

Remaining unchanged 

yet wanting more,
I turned the rusty key to a door locked up in my mind.
The door that I opened
was one I had closed
not knowing it’s value today.
A lesson I’d learned not so long ago had more gifts 

to learn about change.
Many experiences past had wisdom all of their own.
So the lesson book kept on a shelf in my mind
has been taken out to be read one more time.

“Life can only be understood backwards; 

but it must be lived forwards.”

~ Søren Kierkegaard
