When I stare at the closed door
I feel the presence of an unknown spell
Lingering behind the door!

I see an idol standings on a pedestal
And vague figures dancing around it.
Are they good or bad?, I don't know!

I only hear their fearful sounds
I only see their vague shadows
All in my mental frame!

So, I hesitate to knock
At a closed door.
If I do, it is with a prayer!
