HAIKU MY HEART

Opening a door
trusting the powers that be
 stepping in brave, bold

"Vintage photo" is the theme at Inspiration Avenue this week. 
I chose and altered a photo taken recently,because I love doors and keys. Keys come in all shapes and sizes, can both unlock and lock things.  The lock doesn't work without its key, and vice versa. If you hand over a key then you are granting someone power. A key gives you access to knowledge that was previously hidden. 

"Not knowing when the dawn will come, open every door" Emily Dickinsen

    The mystery of a locked door and a present key. What could be more enticing?
