Reach
Floorboards
creak
Footsteps
squeak
Filtered sunlight through the window
Dusty
books
Curious
looks
Mystery floats high aloft
Hands
quiver
Body
shivers
Step forward, quick and soft.
Masks
leer
Portraits
peer
From frames and hooks on the wall
A door
lies
Amid silent
cries
Of thrilling adventures that call
Out to
me
All I can
see
Is the unknown thing before
That proudly
stands
In reach of my
hands
The strangely secret door
Doorknobs
cold
Stories
untold
Whisper through the hinges
Rusty
metals
Dust
unsettles
The door opens in sunlit fringes
An open
space
A magical
place
Filled with summertime green
I’m reaching
out
Forgetting all
doubt
It’s like nothing I’ve ever seen
Breeze blows
by
I close my
eyes
And suddenly awake.
