Knock at the Door

Within four walls I sit contented,
contemplating a peaceful return
but I'm waiting for a moment to
permit worthy action;

to the East the closet doors smile
gently through the cracks of shallow shadow

to the South the credenza drawers emit
an antique aura of stale bounty

to the West window glass gleams
with manufactured clarity missing purpose

to the North a faux forest hangs
in two dimensions holding no mystery.

Within four walls I sit convincingly
resolute that the Truth will handily reveal itself
but I'm awaiting a day when at journey's end
I discover a spring gushing with knowing;

moons turn the wheel treading
over numerous trials
that return me to pregnant stillness.

shielded by the comfort of closets and drawers,
reflecting on squares of dull glass and hollow art
my projections penetrate a mere thin veil of context
within reach of my finger tips.

Within four walls I sit confused
wondering when, o when, the moment may come
when a Gift arrives.
