Metaverse of Mysteries

Metaverse of Mysteries

Behind each door, a world unseen,
A realm of mystery, realms between.
Once entered and closed it, wonders began to shift,
In a labyrinth of enigmas, souls adrift.

Thousands of doors, infinite they may,
Familiar and curious, in their display.
Old or new, each a lure and a call,
In our metaverse, mysteries enthrall.

On shelves they stand, a spectral array,
Inviting spirit of wisdom with our stay. 
Wondering which door where we lost?
Swimming through secrets, we will find the way.

Yet, amidst the metaverse, at least one door I knew,
A flash to where your essence once flew.
At random, yet guided by fate, 
I opened it, not a moment too late :+) ~~~~~
