love the riddle and the calligraphy is lovely . i could be far off but the bottom half has me thinking it is a woman s genitalia. since it is the dark door through which all must pass, it is the first crossroads that we pass through ,a key to life , and the light of life that invelups a child upon birth . a woman can be seen as a pillar of strengthand is often seen as a sexual object , but the stone, mountain , and tree do not seem to fit

I might be completely wrong, but to me it sounds as if you are talking about Norse Mythology. the first four lines on the left seem to be about Yggdrasil, the world tree, the ones on the right about the Rainbow Bridge that connected Asgard to the other eight worlds, then on the bottom, it seems like you're talking about Ragnarok on the left, and Loki on the right. Or if you just group the left lines together and the right lines together it sounds like Yggdrasil on the left and Loki on the right. Either way, very interesting poem.

The beauty of it is everyone sees something different and has a different answer for it. It matches many mythologies
