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
