Gateways
The Skin
Is the gateway to
Death
Irrelevant is this sense
In contrast to the others
In terms of salvation
A excellent purpose the skin does hold
But not forever
The Nose
Is the gateway to
Resistance
Penetrate this barrier, and
You can be weakened or invigorated
Useless yet powerful
The Tongue
Is the gateway
To the forked path
You must choose which path to enter
And your life will be decided for you
Choose the correct path
The Ears
Are the gateway to the
Heart
Music and words of affection
Can mend or tear
The composition of conviction in emotion
The Eyes
Are the gateway to the
Soul
Where your eyes go
Your soul follows and you can either be attached
To the world, or to where "you must believe to see"
The Mind
Is the largest of gates
And decides life or death.
To control what you think
I have found is near impossible
But if you can you can reach immeasurable heights
For the lighter the mind the higher it can fly
And it helps or destroys the essence of eternity
