One Star Lit Night

Curtains blown open on a star lit night, while crickets keep time to a song in my mind. There's a shadow down the hall hidden from sight, like something I've lost that I wish I could find. The rustling of leaves from a soft summer breeze, whispers the freedom you seek is at your command. I would open that door if I just held the keys and see what lies waiting in Time's withered hands. 5/25/19

Oooh, the shadow of "Time"! None of us know for sure what lies behind that door, Wren, and the anticipation can be overwhelming. A compelling poem to which all can relate. Excellent writing! A fave for me. Hugs, Carolyn
