When the door closes
And light shadows fall into darkness
Where tender feelings
Are hurt by unjust slightness
We experience the process of letting go
Into thin air
Without lonely despair
Into the heart
Where the seed of love makes its start
Into the sea
Where the salt of our bodies runs free
Into the soul
Where the truth is known
