When the door opened
it shone brightly all over the world.
O the door compelled the world
to the knee and eventually, they penned
their knees before the door.
Alas, alas, no one, no one
ever knew where the door shone
from but only the one who boor
he closed the door and the world
freed from knees and stood up.
