It's Still Life

25.09: A Thursday Door

red front door, climbing rose, red polka dot boots, house is a blue colour

Red arch silent stands,
Aged stone guards dusk’s gleam,
Leaf-shadow whispers near —
Dreams wait beyond the seam.

a Tang Dynesty Jueju poem

Bushboy (Brian Dodd) shares photos of doors, but not just any doors. Spectacular doors from his journeys. Dan’s Thursday Doors opened the door on this. I love doors of all sorts. I’ve trawled through my photos and found a few to share.

    Gates felt beyond use
    Thresholds crossed but the true
    Ah, the ancient hesitation
    Silence marks the Gatekeeper’s station.

      If any of these doors want to spill ink for you, you’re welcome to use them.

    I love the door and your beautifully penned Jueju is spot on…what magic/dreams awaits in the stories that door could tell. Well done.
