Enchanted (Thursday Doors)

It looks like
long ago and
far away,
waiting for once
upon a
time—shall we?—it
seems to be expecting us.

Diana Peach provided the above image for Colleen’s #TankaTuesday which, of course, was perfect for Thursday Doors. I wrote my poem, a Whitney (3/4/3/4/3/4/7) to her image and then looked in my door photo archive for suitable doors to match. I was enchanted by the way the top door matched so beautifully its gate.

This door has always seemed mysterious to me. Where does the shadowy staircase inside lead?

And for some reason this door always makes me think of Hobbits. Plenty of enchantment there.
