A Thought from the Dark
To the door brought he, a special
message for me,
And
called out, "Open Sesame!"
Responding boldly to his call, the
door opened wide.
I beckoned him inside.
His voice, it sounded cordial, its
tones were playful, sweet----
Most giddy and upbeat----
But out there he remained while
speaking, and seeming so gay,
Within
the murky gray.
Now he's gone, the room is empty,
just as before
He bid me open the door.
Perhaps his message could have
changed to day the night,
Had he brought with him a light!
