The Lingering Fool...


Some doors you shut with nails and cement.  Others you leave open.  You leave them open because what's inside them is so damn important and special, you know you'd be a fool to shut them for good.  So you linger outside the door.  Never really stepping in...and never really stepping out.  You know that what's inside couldn't house you for long so lingering becomes your only hope of retaining all that you know is left in this world as pure.  The love of one and the hope of another.  The joy of embracing all that you consider to be perfect.

Only a fool would shut these doors and yet a conundrum materializes in the midst.  Why this conundrum? Because the simple truth is this; it takes an even bigger fool to endure the pain and confusion of keeping them open...

I have made my choice and I will be that fool.  The idiot that will rather have some of something beautiful than all of nothing at all...
