Threshold
Threshold
I had my arms clasped to my knees
And my teeth clenched together
This time yesterday, I had slept and was yawning
And now I'm waiting for the stars to emerge
Waiting for the clouds to disappear
This time yesterday I had slept
This might be an opportunity
But the house seems too empty
And voices were low and unheard
I packed my baggage and headed out
I could sit outside looking at the galaxy
Or near an ocean feeling the breeze
And I'm not blind or deaf
And yet I can't see or hear
I let my hands play gently on the rusty leaves
And my fingers jingle bell along
Too deep I was lost
All alone in this winter
And yet my thoughts were clouded
Having them around might be traumatic
The day will be too short
And the night will stay longer
The galaxy will keep us awake
And the cool breeze will ease to our side
I shall be lost and forgotten
I close my eyes and inhale the wave
And when I did eventually opened it
I was surprised to still found out
I was standing still on the threshold of my house.
