Keys

They unlock mysteries 
Open doors of my life
Grant me transport
A portal of freedom
Highways of interest
The jingled in my pocket
Reminders of where I can enter
And protect
Enclosure of self
And now they melt away
A flat released
She has my keys to that future now
And will enjoy it I know
Keys to my employment
Security of livelihood 
An office abandoned to another
Doors previously open
Closed forever to me
Finally my car key
Transportation of freedom
Gone to another 
To find his new freedoms
No jingle now
I lift away
Lightened of the load
All wonderful memories
Life loved
Keys exchanged and changed
The keys of my heart given
To all that I love
And I land again
To build new life
A jingle in my pocket
The first given access
My home
My love
