Array ( [sid] => 124737 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => THE KEY : The Death of The Keyholder(part 1) [time] => 2006-08-21 16:36:47 [hometext] => This is a poem telling the story of an old man who was responsible for a key that unlocks the door to every question ever to be asked. From the mundane to the more philosophical. His time is almost over so he passes the key onto another. [bodytext] => Hold the key I give you
as I can't stay anymore
Don't let noone deceive you
into giving them what's yours
I've treasured this forever
Please don't lose it on me now
for what's behind the door
will show you things they won't allow

My life was born for this day
but I'm starting to feel tired
Protection weighs too heavy
and my time has now expired
I hope I've made the right choice
In your eyes I've seen belief
My heart says you will guard this gift
Your life is now this key

I'll always be beside you
Not in form but in your heart
So have no fear for what you'll find
Be brave and play your part
The time is coming nearer
and it's time for me to die
So walk towards the door
and place the key you have inside

When you return back through this door
my body will have died
but you'll have seen a million things
that cannot be denied

Behind there lies the answers
to the questions we all ask
Why we were born
Why we are here
The nature of our task
You'll see those things plus many more
but let them die with you
Don't tell the world
They won't believe
Be careful what you do

Your job will be what I have done
when I was passed the key
To place signs all around the world
for open minds to see
They'll be consumed subconsciously
and then be given form
through media and poetry
through films, through art and more

Then you will know your job is done
when all of this occurs
There will be those who get it wrong
so look and be prepared
You'll then produce the key you have
and use it once again
to find an answer locked inside
but use it only then

I know this seems a lot to ask
but this belongs to you
Don't be afraid
Please be strong
Believe in what you do

we all have keys which unlock doors to ourselves sometimes we try to hide these keys or bust the locks to prevent the world from getting in. i too am scared of the world but if i have learned anything from the past few weeks is to not be afraid, i know some people have changed their feelings for me and thats cool we all have the right to i sanity i hope you truely find your calling and best wishes for the future as it is only you who will feel the benefit. if you are still there when it is all said and done then great! but i understand
its been a while just say the word.........
