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
