A Thought from the Dark

 

 

To the door he came

          With a message for me,

And to the door he called,

          "Open Sesame!"

 

The door it opened wide

          And I beckoned him inside.

 

He spoke in pleasantries

          And, yes, seemed quite gay,

But outside he remained

          Within the murky gray.

 

The room is empty now

          Just as before

He came and bid me

          To open the door.

 

Perhaps the message could

          Have changed to day the night,

Had he spoken more clearly

          And brought with him a light!
