Enter At Your Own Risk Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

The heart may easily open its doors
Allowing you to feel most welcomed;
At ease as you enter those private chambers
But you must beware, my friend.
Such beauty can be quite enchanting
With its wondrously mysterious places,
But you never really know
What lies hidden in the shadows there.
Waiting to be discovered in that unknown,
The loveliest things can still crush your soul,
Leave you wasted and wanting;
Lost forever in a black hole
Of your own regrets and tears.
It is only those who will chase away the fears
To openly risk the embrace of its depths,
Who will ultimately find salvation in its light.
