A Small Door Opening to the Sky

The sky I look up at is always so far away.

But the day I found a "key" inside my heart,

a staircase of white, shining clouds descended right to my feet.

One step, two steps.

Treading on steps softer than cotton candy,

I arrived in the very center of the blue.

There, holding a warmth like sunlight filtering through trees,

a small light-blue door stood.

Beyond the door

A single knock.

Beyond the door that opened quietly,

unlike the daytime we know,

**"the place where stars are born"** was spread out.

• Golden blinking: Stars that have just let out their first cry are flowing like a stream.

• Quiet forest: A deep azure silhouette that makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the world below.

• Rainbow of hope: Light spilling from the side of the door paints a single seven-colored streak.

To retrieve what was forgotten

This is a closet that keeps safe

the "dreams of childhood" that we left behind while being chased by busyness.

Two white birds are resting their wings as if they were guides.

"It's okay to try believing once more."

Pushed forward by the chirping of the birds,

I take a step into the door.

Because there, brighter than any streetlamp on the ground,

**"Your own unique light"** is waiting for you.

A small door opening to the sky.

It is the entrance to the world, closest to you,

that appears only the moment you believe in yourself.
