it was a blue key
that fit in a
secret lock
kept hidden away
known only
to a very few
she slid it in
and gently turned
there was a muffled
click, the door
swung open
a subtle breath of air
brushed past
her cheek it smelled
like roses with a
trace of mint
a voice in the distance
called "come in, come in,
we've been waiting for
you all these years"
as she stepped inside
her fear melted away
sadness evaporated
as if a puff of smoke
there was only joy
and peace,
perfect harmony
as she crossed over
