Openings

I opened a door

and light poured in.

Blinding light

I lost my sight

When the iris dilated

And I could take it in

A vanquished night

Now it was right

I opened a window

and wind rushed in

A cold and chilly air

But I did not care

I saw a tree branching

Everywhere, a gnarled oak

An owl in it's snare

At me it would just stare

I opened a cupboard

and smells wafted in

Apples and cinnamon

Nutmeg and cumin

Something it was moving

Behind the cereal boxes

Mice and not men

Scurrying times ten

I opened up my heart

And you rushed in

I'll take you in my arms

Hold you with my charms

Your smile is enlightening

And everything else melts away

No worry or harms

Just want to hold you in my arms
