Short Poem #7 - A Knock

🚪

A knock on the door

Standing you

Who used to be a stranger

Travelled across lands and seas

A warmth

Wrapped its arm around me

On a night before your arrival

A subtle smile

Confident in its presence

I slide the door open

Welcome you to my world

A vast territory

Of endless possibilities

We play hide and seek

Sing in languages we don’t speak

We sit in a shade

Making jokes and telling stories

My heart’s content

Wrapped around your innocence
