A large gate covered in small shrubbery
The long, never opened, doors littered with skeletons
Of failed attempts
For many years they lay in despair
Hoping for the fateful day
A hero would come and save them

The author's comments:
My first poem I ever wrote. I would like to thank Haydn for unlocking my hidden talent.
