The Man Beside the Golden Door

In those myths

of the world long sought,

the stuff of poems

on a mountain top

where a man stands at a door
 of the path,

outlined from light within

and waves a lantern

at his side, a sign

for travelers in and out of time

and life to another world

those voyager walkers are dolls.

The seekers are dolls!

That's why the big sign

 over the door says
 Come One Come all

and
Never Give Up On A Doll!
