The Light

I knew it was coming

I had known it for long

The reddish sky

The impish kid inside me

Waiting eagerly, always

It started with rain

And once the green was cleaned

I saw the falcons across my garden

Staring at a distance, horizon

Then followed the snow

With the whitest intentions

And I saw squirrels shivering

I found my food, cold

Then I saw the light

My pets were unaware

I took my favorite candy in pocket

And followed it, enchanted

...I left the front door open
