What's Behind the Door?

Day after day I Fill the Front, nothing else to do

I'm still a Peasant and everything is still so new.

My shift is up. I take my break. Time to Fill the Back.

I notice something and start to ask myself, “What's that?”

All of a sudden this door appears right before my eyes.

I touch the frame, smell the wood, and suddenly realize

The millions of possibilities that might lie in store.

My mind keeps racing, I’m aching to peek. What’s behind the door?

Could there be dragons? Fairies? A three-headed dog?

A swarm of birds? A wildebeest? A deadly fog?

I’m nervous and curious, my ears begin to ring.

I turn the knob as my stomach flips. Here goes nothing!

Through the dark door I go and what do I see?

Three more other doors are staring back at me!

Now which do I pick? The first? The second? The third?

So many to choose from! This is becoming quite absurd.

Are there vampires behind one? Mermaids in the next?

Werewolves? Elves? Dinosaurs? This is becoming complex!

The Kingdom is such a mystery! Who knows what could be inside?

It’s all becoming so much I think I might just hide!

I try again, turn the knob, and through a door I fly.

A plethora of more portals! Leading where and why?

Maybe it’s a mystery, maybe I’m not supposed to know.

Maybe that’s the joy of KoH! Who knows where the doors go?
