The Red Door - Chapter 1.

A little story poem i wrote in 5 minutes, something to post before i go away for the weekend. I bet you can guess what its about, and what triggered me to write it. well, do enjoy:

It was a red night,
when she fell,
into the darkness of a world unknown.
a world of pain,anguish and fear.

step by step,
she ventured deeper into the void.
dodging her shadow along the way
feeling the pain of the eyes peering from beyond

Lost,oh so lost she was,
lost in a strange land, lost of all hope.
she let out her pain,anguish and fear,
stopping short of breaking into tears,
falling short of ending it all there.

but wait, what was this?
she heard her name,
calling from a distance,
no doubt, she must have been saved,

there he was by the lake,
smiling,waving,calling out to her.
a friendly face he had,
her heart was warmed by the hope.
but nothing was as it seems
or was it?

she took off her red slippers,
wet from the storm,
worn, she could hardly crawl.

he held out his hand,
it felt so warm.
into the raft the went
braving the storm.

the hours past, the minutes flew,
down the lake ,into the blue,
they spoke together softly
in fear, that the wind might hear.

they came to a halt.
a sudden stop.
he stood there silent,
she was stunned, amazed.

a brilliant sparkle lay before them
as bright as the eyes could see
rising from beneath the water
like a phoenix from the ashes
its greatness,for all to see.

"behold, the red door"
he whispered softly

she trembled, confused,
in fear of its purpose,
yet in awe of its beauty.

"BEHOLD!...THE RED DOOR!"
He said again, this time at full voice
his arms flailing,his hands presenting,

as the lights grew brighter,
it blinded her eyes

"Whats next?"
she thought,
trembling,
...in hope..in fear...
