Departed Past

The gone past
Remains mysterious
Despite the future being clear
Is life beyond the door?
And there is speculation in mind
Within or outside?
This way or that
It is locked or unlocked?
Who is waiting for me?
What's making me wait?
Want t resolve these mysteries
A step ahead
Misses a step back
It's true
Neither I have the key nor the lock
